Actually I consider August 17 as “the” moment. So, it is not yet 3 months in my calender. Now, even @ half time, the game looks interesting enough. The right time for your survey is around Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year. By then, there will be enough data to extrapolate for next year. So far, I consider the damage is smaller than expected. My scale is rather simple. Less than 5% unemployment = Good, 5 – 6%: Moderately bad; More than 7% = Really bad. On that scale, it is still good time now.
