It is good to know that we are looking up instead of down. But, what is helping or causing us to have the slow growth? Regardless slow is better than none. I am glad to see it coming up. I work at a company that the more people that have jobs, the better.

ReplyDeleteI hope the economy wont go through another recession, but the way the unemployment rate reaching levels of almost 10% scares me. Hopefully things will start to turn around and Obama will not take it out on tax payers.
