Proof the US economy is sorted.

Goldman, which continues to attract the very best investment bankers and is chaired by Lloyd Blankfein, is on track to pay staff more than it did in 2007, itself a record year.

Having recently repaid its $10bn (£6bn) bail-out from the US Treasury, thus releasing it from government compensation legislation, the bank is on track to produce a total compensation pot of $20bn this year, according to analysis of analysts' estimates by the Wall Street Journal.

If Goldman manages to deliver the figure, it would mean an average compensation of $700,000 per employee.

Recession is over and house prices won't drop.

Got to hand it to Mr Brown. Nothing can stop Labour now.

I think it must be all those accountants that Cron will need to use.



Maybe the Euros are coming out of recession?

Er, wot

Eurostat: Euro area unemployment up to 9.5%

Among the Member States, the lowest unemployment rates were recorded in the Netherlands (3.2%) and Austria (4.3%), and the highest rates in Spain (18.7%), Latvia (16.3%) and Estonia (15.6%).

They cut off benefits after 6 months and then no longer count them. Same as here. So unemployment is not falling at all, just the number of claimants.

L for Labour-shaped recession. They've been shaping it since 1997.

Unemployment in Spain fell by 1.5% or 55,250 people in June, according to the official figures just released by the employment agency INEM.
It’s the second consecutive monthly fall and is in contrast to a rise of nearly 37,000 unemployed in June last year. It’s the largest fall seen in June for eight years.

Maybe the Euros are coming out of recession?

L - shaped? Does that mean it's gone down and will just stay there?

L-shaped is better than "backslash shaped", at least it has a bottom
