Uh oh...

Uh oh...  It's been a while since I last posted a snapshot of the Google Unemployment Index.  The past couple of weeks have seen a spike up, just when (in previous years) we normally see a spike down, mainly because of seasonal hiring.  Similarly, the first of each year we normally see a spike up because of the seasonal workers being out of a job.

What does this mean?  I don't know.  But it's hard to read it as good news...
