<p>Very interesting, Greybeard. For what it’s worth, I’m suddenly starting to see a few signs of life in the legal market again. Last week I was contacted by one of my lawyers who is looking for experienced people in our industry for another client. I also heard from two headhunters for jobs in other states. One of my associates just found a great job after being laid off six months’ ago. </p>
<p>I don’t know whether this activity is unique to our industry. Things are still dismal for my kid’s law school class, but these could be the glimmerings of the beginning of a turnaround. </p>
<p>I’ve notice “help wanted” signs in all the local stores too, for the first time in a year or two. I’m trying to remember whether the markets traditionally go up in election years…</p>
