how does the economy affect the job market ? we know or some of us have already seen this in our local job market but what are the signs of a bad economy  and how does the economy affect the job market ?

uneployment is at its highest at almost 11% to me thats one reason as to how it affect the job market. Less jobs.

I would say you covered 98%  - that is if the economy is @ recession. If economy was good we wood see more jobs oh and less killings.

Economy is the Job market so if one does good the other will follow and if the economy is bad that translates to less and less jobs.
