Small businesses usually lead hiring in recession recovery. Very hesitant to do so now
34% say sales will decline in next quarter. 21% expect it to rise. 45% flat

Lack of confidence in government, retail purchasing slides, unemployment rate are all considered factors. I say OSCAR MAYER (baloney)

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. - Sun Tzu
