Still sluggish
Despite the hopes of millions of people, the U.S. economy is still sluggish. The latest numbers to come out of Washington show that unemployment is still high and new jobs are not being created at the necessary pace to allow for a complete recovery. This has many people scared about the future.
There are a few bright spots in the economy such as manufacturing which has risen slightly. Construction is still down as are the temporary jobs. Plans to raise the amount of cash needed for companies to work with are in the works and other options to stimulate the economy are being considered. I hope we can make it through these tough times.
