The recession is over?
So says the government. The GDP is clocking in at 3% growth at the moment but a lagging indicator, employment, is still dismal. Unemployment is poised to break 10% next week.
We’ve been lucky in Valley County. We’re far, far below those unemployment trends (we’re at 2.5%) and our retail sales grew over the past year. Many contrary trends to those found nationally. Let’s hope it continues.
