How is the economy currently in your state?
Is is bad? Junk? Awesome? Superb? Mediocre? Recovering?

In Hawaii, the Construction company is booming and we just got a bunch of money from the US government for defense. The unemployment rate is ok, and there is money in the state government too. Not too bad here.

How is it in your state?

6. I'm a wholesaler in Alaska
I have lost four major accounts this year because they went out of business. K-Mart was one, Williams BP was another and both those are large chain stores. Also lost two big independents that couldn't withstand the plunge in revenues from so many people out of work and the union busting that is going on within the state. I would say the economy sucks, but thanks for asking.

My mom and dad have both effectively been fired and taken paycuts... oh the glories of the Bush Economy. Luckily for me, I'm going to Grad School.
