The job section at this website is a rather good indication for the economical developments in this branch. After years in which almost everyone was searching for new employees, the amount of job offers decreased significantly last year. But since a few months we see an increase again which is in line with the developments we hear from the market. Almost all leading stores report a positive trend since October last year. In most cases sales this year is already better as in the same period in 2008 indicating a strong recovery.
