My 401k is Rebounding, So Where Are All The Jobs?

During the last couple of weeks I've noticed that the stock market has been improving. While this is good news for peoples retirement funds (including mine!), it doesn't solve my most pressing problem, which is finding a job. Home sales have picked up also and while this is encouraging I feel that unless more jobs are available to get people like myself back to work, then the economy will be struggling for the foreseeable future. Today, President Obama said that he wants to change the rules on unemployment benefits so that people can go to college or get training without the worry of losing their unemployment checks. Finally, some common sense coming out of the government!! Can you believe it!! I just hope it happens soon as I feel it's the only way to a decent job.
