Unemployment is a lagging indicator, but it is the most noticeable indicator to the general populous. Therefore, most people will think that its impossible!! for the recession to be over because what they "see" is lagging indicators. It's all about asymmetrical information and the propensity for myopic beliefs (over-weighting the present relative to the future)
