Post by: heroftimes on October 23, 2012, 08:53:08 am: getting better. I don't think it's were people would like it to be, but at least it's improving. I'd rather slow progress than no progress or regress.

I have not seen any improvements and people are struggling to survive.
I still have hope things will turn around soon.

Jobs are far from plentiful, but things are getting better. Also, we are slated to get a new Kroger Marketplace built here in the spring. Things are beginning to come back--not as quickly as any of us would like , I know. Then again--that was quite a Titanic plunge we took a few years ago.

Post by: alabreu5 on October 25, 2012, 07:50:49 am: IT's not much better. I work in a restrant and tips suck, people who come in that you would think would give at least 18% are only giving 10%, but saying how much they appreciate your service. Sorry but words don't pay my bills

Post by: king4cash on October 25, 2012, 08:00:32 am: I thinks the economy is getting worse. The GDP has been reducing from 4.+ to just 1.+ since Obama has been president. Major companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM has seen a reduction in earnings, unemployment is hovering around 8 percent, Oil prices is going through the roof, which means the inflation is on the rise. Wages are not improving. The national dept. ceiling is growing daily over 16 trillion. WORSE WORSE WORSE. Obama is out of his league.
