Is anyone seeing a huge drop in your local economy??

Question

Here in Dallas I'm seeing less traffic and a lot of businesses closing. Even restaurants are starting to really slow down!!

Answer 1

of course...definitely but what can we do

Answer 2

I work for a Auto Dealership and I can tell you compared to our sales last year we are doing horrible.. I fear that closing our doors isn't too far away.

Answer 3

Omg yes!! I live in NY and its getting almost impossible to live, everything is going up in prices and gas is like 4.50 or something a galleon it sucks plus im already in debt from collage, i start in September and now im really poor.

Answer 4

yup and have been for the past 6 months or so.

Answer 5

Not that I can tell. There are still traffic jams, so gas isn't making people dump their vehicles. I still gotta wait for a table on a Friday night at a restaurant, so folks still have cash to buy dinner. And I'm seeing new office buildings going up and help wanted signs on area businesses windows.

So in my neck of the woods (Ashburn,VA), the local economy is still buzzing right along.
