Quote Of The Day: Hot Waitress Indicator
Well, it seems at least as reliable as anything coming from the government. From Hugo Lindgren in a New York magazine article:

"The indicator I prefer is the Hot Waitress Index: The hotter the waitresses, the weaker the economy. In flush times, there is a robust market for hotness. Selling everything from condos to premium vodka is enhanced by proximity to pretty young people (of both sexes) who get paid for providing this service. That leaves more-punishing work, like waiting tables, to those with less striking genetic gifts. But not anymore."
