Holding On As Recession Ends

As stories of the recession’s end seem to abound these days, it’s good to have a reality check story as well. The New York Times provides such a story. Rather than do my ususal commentary, I simply suggest that you read it. The recession may be over for economists. It’s not over for a lot of people.

John, be sure to check out the NY Times multimedia presentation that accompanied this series of stories. Some excellent reporting. Photogs weren’t half-bad either. The slide show takes you around the cul-de-sac to see what was happening in each home. Very personal. Worth the time.

As mentioned by Tony Kessler in his comment, the article referenced in this post is one in a series. It’s the second one. Here’s a link to the first article in this Times series:
