How's the economy doing?
I have a few theories about this since you asked. We are in the midst of a jobless recovery. Companies are pushing their exsisting employees harder because of the costs of hiring people. Remember it isn't just a salary that gets paid, but the average worker makes costs more than his salary in benefits and insurances, on top of his salary. (maybe kapkomet can give you a little more real world numbers there). I also think it is because most of the economy is stagnent, which leads me to my next conclusion. The majority of the recovery is based on the increased spending from the military and security complex. Think of all of the extra spending in those areas. "Defense" spending is about about 50% since 2001. Inflation is on the horizion, poised to breakout later this fall to winter. Many, many commodities are at long term highs. For example- Gas all time real dollar high. Soybeans 15 year high. Gold 20 year highs. Crude Oil 10 year highs. Steel 30 year high. Need I go on? So in whole, the economy is OK. Jobs are basically flat. It should be recovering enough to send a signal to the rest of the economy to send the illusion of full recovery, which would kick it into a real recovery.

Not with a million plus dollar contract. If anything he goes on the DL, and makes room for Adkins/Jackson.

See also D'Angelo Jimenez... Bradley didn't change after his first trade, he isn't going to change after his second trade.
