Recession is good, survey finds

More than half of executive-level job seekers think the recession has been good for their children, as a lesson that opportunity will not be handed to them, a survey has found.

The survey, released yesterday, was conducted online in June among 699 job seekers who are either earning more than $100,000 annually or earned that much in their last job, TheLadders.com, an online jobs site that lists positions paying $100,000 or more a year, said.
