However, when the major downturn came, we have not been affected too much yet.  Also, we have had a large amount of federal stimulus money put into the local economy and that seems to be holding up pretty well.  It is creating construction jobs and demand for new housing.

I am curious as to how the economy is in my reader’s area and would welcome any comments which will be posted on the site.
