In 2010, there is absolutely no reason to equate a rising Dow Jones average with a good economy

by now, most everybody knows the dow is only an indicator of what's happening for the super-rich elites...

Dow Closes Above 11,000 on Earnings Optimism

The Dow industrials closed above 11,000 for the first time in almost 19 months on Monday as expectations of solid first-quarter earnings spurred buying in the financial, energy and industrial sectors.

The Dow Jones industrial average added 8.84 points, or 0.08 percent, to 11,006.19, according to the latest available figures.

i'm sure the chronically unemployed are cheered by this good news...
