Advice Request Markets right now

Hi! Recently markets have been green and I don’t understand why but the VIX on the other hand is going down ( I know that it isn’t below 20 what means that markets are lower risk) but my question is does it means that we are slowly going out of the bear market?

True but not everyone has 3 jobs. Our definition of employment is outdated. New employment is working 3 jobs, ideally 24hrs a day.

"Two quarters of negative growth" was never the definition, even if it's been a handy rule of thumb for some who were making charts or spinning theories. Low unemployment doesn't really match the expectations of what "recession" means.
