Nice to see such logical correlation between rate of change and the first derivative. Also nice to see the little wage slaves finally going back to work. Of course it will be a long slow recovery, since they all lost their houses. Especially in California. Until the Revelation.

Nice to see such logical correlation between rate of change data and actual UnE....however at this rate it will be a long slow recovery. Till the next crisis.
