A good sign that the economy is starting to pick up is that employment numbers are starting to trend up. With many of the Fortune 500 companies reporting better than expected earning and even the Ford reported a $2 billion profit helps to show that consumers are spending money and this in turn is helping to drive demand for more jobs. While we are still not out of the woods from a total economic perspective it is nice to hear consumer confidence is starting to pick back up and hopefully small businesses are seeing this success in their bottom line.
