It actually is getting better: nytimes.com

The employment report for March, released a week ago, was a milestone that has been little noted. The household survey, from which the unemployment rate is calculated, showed a gain during the first quarter of this year of 1.1 million jobs, the best performance since the spring of 2005.

it just doesn’t get better overnight. This is a sharp recession with multiple contributing factors. anecdotally, I still have many friends who are unemployed, but fewer than this time last year.
