I’m sorry for you, honestly. It’s sucks to live in an economically-halted area. I live near Detroit, myself. Things are picking up here.
Yes, but you see, the point is precisely that “picking up” is not quite the same as good.
The economy may very well be “picking up” and still be lousy.
63, with record, employed with the best Engineering Job I have ever had, heh heh..June 1, 2016
Economic growth in Arizona accelerated last year, with faster job and population gains. Employment increased 2.6% for the state outpacing last year’s 2.0% rate. Population growth rose modestly from 1.3% to 1.4% last year, while personal income gains decelerated slightly from 4.7% to 4.6%, according to preliminary estimates. The Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) posted better growth last year across most indicators, as well.Early returns for 2016 suggest even stronger gains this year, with employment increasing faster than the national rate for the state, Phoenix MSA, and Tucson MSA. I’m sorry for you, honestly you live near Detroit.
