, you can't have it -- marc, you can't -- >> they're not lazy. >> marc, you can't have it both ways. can't say there's no jobs out there, yet the president of the united states of america, at his end of the year press conference, saying the economy is going well right now, in the right direction. look how great it is compared to a year ago. you can't have it both ways. >> ben, let me interrupt. ben -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> ben, it's not both ways. what we're saying is the economy was in a bad hole, and we are recovering. gas prices are down, the housing market has recovered, or is recovering, jobs are recovering, unemployment is recovering, but we're still in a hole. even though we've turned a corner in some ways, we still don't have -- >> ben, let me ask you, look, corporate america is doing very well. individual workers are not. a lot of people, one of the reasons the jobless numbers are also down is not because people are finding work, people are giving up. they are quitting. they're not finding the jobs that are out there. so is there no help? is there no relief for those p

marc, what do you think?they got off to a fast start and -- that is going to be their challenge. it is not a foregone conclusion. what they are trying to do now is that they have developed a lot of data. it is at a granular level. not just go to the restaurant and get a recommendation of what's on the menu. they are moving to the idea of anticipatory recommendations. you walk in and sit down and try this. if that is done well, because it's a push-based, starting to get around the problem of people who are not pulling it out and turning it on. they are working on api's. places where it can be used. it is going to be a hard problem for them to get engaged users. that is why there is some doubt if they can become a really interesting acquisition target for someone. >> marc prioleau and sarah frier. thank you. we will be back more with the show after this. ♪ >> you are watching "bloomberg west" where we focus on technology and the future of business. i am emily chang with the top headlines. target said there have
