Of much importance ? 

New York's Dow Jones share index set a new all-time high on Tuesday, while London's FTSE 100 closed at it highest level in five years.

The rallies mean the stock markets are returning to levels not seen since before the global financial crisis.

The Dow reached 14,285 during the day, exceeding the previous record intra-day high of 14,198, set in October 2007.

It closed slightly lower at 14,256. The FTSE closed at 6,432, its highest close since January 2008.

It's been a great past few years for stock and real estate buyers. The government has really helped them. Oh, the people benefiting most have been the rich?

Why should they?  They've learned to do more with less, and in turn maximize profits.  Hiring people just brings that down.

Any soulles corporations need an Electrical Engineer? 

They'll find one in Mumbai or Shanghai.  Go move there.
