are we out? here's what they look for on wall street. this is a big week for quarterly profit reports. they're expected to be strong especially when compared to this time last year. one of the things is some of this growth is because of cost cutting. investors wants to see profit driven growth. consumer confidence is starting to go up. retail sales of late starting to go up. but again for those of you who don't have a job or who are underemployed working part-time this is what you most worry about and what even the economists who are optimistic at the moment tell us is that rate at 9.7% could even trickle up a little bit and as it starts to come down it will be very, very slowly taking months if not years to get back down in the ballpark say of 7%. numbers worth studying as we look at the economy in the days and weeks ahead. as if the economy and financial reform aren't enough another big issue is hanging over the congress in this election year. is it time for another big debate over immigration reform?
