    Hmmm, not much yet but I've seen a few vacancies, especially for people with commercial banking and trading experience; credit risk testers are being hired again too.

    I hope for the sake of his health, they're keeping this news from Ambrose. Could be too much of a shock.

    Very hard to predict anything in this recession/slump/depression/slow boom. It's almost as though every figure has been doctored.
