The U.S. labor market weakened at a slower pace in November, with non-farm payrolls slipping 11K from the previous amid forecasts for a 125K decline, while the annual rate of unemployment unexpectedly dropped to 10.0% from the 26-year high of 10.2%.
What this means for massage therapists? Luxury services like, dare I say, massage treatments will gradually dive back into the pockets of Americans.
Perhaps massage professionals can start breathing a sigh of relief as the worst is now behind us. Christmas time is typically a slower time for the business but 2010 should bring positive results for most. Yes, massage is a luxury many can not afford, but with the economy slowly inching its way out of this mess the public will feel increasingly comfortable treating themselves to services like a spa treatment or swedish rub down.
Let's cross our fingers...
