The worst recession in 70 years has ended. But tell that to people trying to find jobs. “The recession is not over until everyone who wants to work is working and working at what they want to do,“ said Walter Courtney of Montpelier. Courtney, 56, is an Internet technology professional who works as a security guard at a retirement home in Hanover County. He was a project manager at a bank, but was laid off early in the economic downturn.
