  No thanks. Get outside and move and live a real life instead of being cooped up in front of the computer.

  In short, US economy may go up or go down FAST...but no lingering like Japan.

  I say Down.

  A strong yen will only help those Japanese companies which aren't xenophobic and have the typical domestic mentality and aversion to change and people/situations that are unfamiliar. Only Rakuten and maybe Fast Retailing although I'm skeptical of the latter.

  Corporate Japan is dying because of its insistence on remaining a closed country and hiring only Japanese with rare exceptions.

  twisted statistics yet again. This doesn't reflect the true nature of the employment situation here in Japan. Like many have said, it doesn't include those who gave up looking and the underemployed. Until corporate Japan (and the rest of the world in fact) starts using the cash they've been hoarding up and invest in creating jobs and real growth, this employment situation will just worsen.
