Where the jobs are & aren't
Business Week's Michael Mandel produces a nice chart based on Labor Department data showing which professions have added jobs in the last two years and which ones have lost jobs. I'm not sure I get the ostensible ~2% job growth in "Business and financial operations." Presumably that includes bankers, but maybe it's just the accountants and other beancounters, who may be needed to sum ledgers whether the numbers are positive or negative.
Much of the damage in banking and on Wall Street is reflected in the ~8% drop in "Office and administrative support."

teach your children well
Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
