"For Sale" & "Going Out Of Business!" sign sales could be key to U.S. recovery

The University of Michigan has completed a research study which indicates that most of those currently unemployed should be able to find work in a sign factory, as demand for "Going Out Of Business!", "Everything Must Go!" and "For Sale" signs continues to see unprecedented gains. The report stated that "At the current pace nearly every business will have one of these signs in their window, and somebody needs to make the actual signs." The survey included detailed interviews with sign makers who are finding the demand taxing on their workforce. Some complained of an increase in paper cuts, while others suggested that there's little room to show true creativity. However, the consensus was that business will continue to expand rapidly, and that hiring large numbers of new sign makers is a must.
