As I hear about the recession, everytime I turn on the television, radio, etc., it makes one think that everyone in the US is staying at home (if they still have their home) and not spending any money.
Even in out small town where we have had some local employers close or cut back, we are still a community that is out supporting our economy by spending money. Most times when I go to a store, there is the "normal" amount of people doing their shopping.
As I go through my daily routine, I am constantly asking my clients how their business is going. Some say that things are slow, but most say that they are moving at a good pace, at least keeping up with last year, some exceeding, some a little behind, but on average most are keeping up.
So, given that everyone (in the media) says that we are in a recession, who is determining that? And why is it important for them to promote such things?
Just something to think about.
