slowdown is not as good as an upturn of the downlurn, but it's a heck of a lot better than either a speedup of the slowdown or a decrease in the down curve, and it does show that the time is about right for a readjustment of the adjustment.

When you look at the unemployment figures for the nation, you will begin to notice a decrease in the rate of increase, which clearly shows that there is letting up of the letdown. Now, if the slowdown should speed up, the decrease in the rate of increase of employment would then obviously turn to an increase in the rate of decrease of employment. In other words, the deceleration would be accelerated.

Now, it's hard to tell from all of this, before the slowdown is completed, whether a particular pickup is going to be fast. At any rate, the climate is about right for a pickup this Summer, particularly if you're 25, unmarried, and drive a red Porsche convertible.
