Stocks are generally rising, but a handful of companies are also going into bankruptcy. It's not a normal recession either, unemployment for alot of these "service" jobs probably doesn't affect too much on stocks. It was really just companies putting a dead halt with no forward plan that crashed it?
Larger industries like construction and food/produce tank it faster: materials import/export, transport taxes, hard labor. It's probably a bad sign when supermarkets are becoming full to the brim and buildings aren't going up.
