"and there's 63,000 new potential hires to choose from. yay!"

Well, you need to really look at what sectors of the economy have lost the jobs - mostly retail, manufacturing and construction - so if you're looking to start a technology company, you might be out of luck with this newly freed labor pool.

The thing is these things work their way through sectors of the economy. It's hit banking, housing and construction/related so far pretty hard - it hasn't quite gotten to technology though. Or has it? Anyone have any thoughts?
