Although the current economic indicators show some signs of improvement, we believe that job losses will continue to adversely impact the restaurant industry even several months after the recovery is on track. The U.S. restaurant industry, which constitutes fast food, casual dining and upscale chains, is facing its toughest times in three decades.
