The Economy is looking very bright again.. - Page 3

To the OP--Busy businesses don't mean automatic success. Restaurants are still seeing people cutting back on drinks, appetizers, desserts, and the cost of the entree. Malls may have people hanging out, but are they shopping, and how much are they spending? What is the retail occupancy rate? I know a ton of people in retail, was there myself until I closed my business, and what they report isn't glowing.

Hi Kzeks,

Sure ain't bright around here and in our state the unemployment rate is below average. Glad some think it is good because this old guy sure ain't seeing it.

Considering that the real unemployment rate is 20+%, and we have the lowest job-participation rate in decades, it's not a ringing endorsement. God help us if the world stops lending us money or decides to not park their money in our stock market.

No, I don't think the economy is bright again.

I wish it were. It may be better in some places, and good for that.

Overall, I don't think so.

I live in Nebraska also and I can see the economy is very good here. Unemployment rate is 2.7%, homes are selling, a lot of new construction going on, and many companies here in Lincoln are looking for workers. Malls, restaurants are crowded and just in the past month 3 new restaurants opened and they are packed. The economy is great here!

In my area stores are also crowded, people are out and about, etc., but I attribute it to the fact that the winter from you-know-where is finally over, LOL. People have spring fever after being holed up inside due to the record low temps. I sure hope the economic numbers look good as well, but time will certainly tell. :-)

Winter had nothing to do with it.

I think part of the reason places are busy now is because people are buying for the Easter holiday.

I sell commercial trucks for living- I can tell you that in our area, contractors are working and buying trucks, hiring new workers to drive the trucks, and this is the best its been since 2009...
