Retail sales up one percent in January

Without benefit of Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill, retail sales were up one percent in January, reversing a six-month decline.

There is a bit of good news on the jobs front. Last week's first time jobless claims were 623,000--that is very high. However, it was 8,000 fewer than the week before.
