  2. Three things stick out from this week's stuff - firstly, although job lay-offs have fallen off, the lack of hiring continues, and yet persists in causing little concern - the apparent rampant 'jobless recovery' continues a-go-go. Secondly, the roaring hedge fund performance last month, and the increase seen in financial services salaries illustrate we are back in the realm of a new normalcy. Then third and finally, the Bloc Party video upstaged last week's video from the most splendid The National - no mean feat.
