Key points from the article:
1) A growing number of MBA graduates are seeking opportunities away from traditional areas like investment banking in light of the recession and current climate on Wall Street.
2) If you're interested in studying for an MBA degree, now may be an ideal time to get started, with many economists predicting that a recovery will begin as soon as next year.
3) Silicon Valley technology leaders are still hiring, although at a slower pace. Otherwise, the current business climate has led other MBA graduates to start their own companies, explore options in fields like renewable energy and nonprofits, and to even weigh job opportunities in other regions of the world that have not been as hard hit by the recession.
4) More foreign-born students are now checking into business options in their home countries because of the U.S. economy.

Anyone read a CREDIBLE article published by a well known economist who is predicting that recovery will begin next year? Because all the ones I read so far are either biased or just speculative without merit....

Recovery will begin next year - this is a fine exmaple of an "educated guess". And a guess is just a guess, no matter how educated. In my view, the decision to apply to b-school should not be based on something as unpredictable as the world/US economy.

I would fathom that the turnout isn't going to happen any time soon.
However, just because the economy doesn't turn around doesn't mean job prospects won't get better.
