That's the message in the near stall out of job growth last month. Job creation probably isn't as bad as February's disappointing numbers suggest — unusually poor weather played a role in limiting job growth to just 20,000 — but it is weaker than just a few months ago. Businesses are nervous, and sentiment is at risk of breaking if anything goes wrong. A recession could materialize swiftly if businesses lose faith, and there is a good chance they will. Businesses are struggling to find qualified workers to fill the record number of job openings.
