Signs of Stabilization in our Regional Economy

Early on we told you that fear was a catalyst of the recession. We predicted once consumers started to see things stabilizing, fear would subside. We are happy to report that we are starting to see signs of stabilization in our economy and it indeed is affecting consumer confidence in a positive way. Retail sales are slightly increasing, home sales are forecasted to increase and unemployment is flat. We realize this is not a significantly improving economy, but it's not deteriorating either. Flat is the new up.
We talked with President and CEO of The Heartland Partnership Jim McConoughey about the signs of stabilization.
