Patchwork Nation: Nashua, New Hampshire: Consumer Confidence Decline
http://nashua.patchworknation.org/2010/02/consumer-confidence-decline.html
Thursday, February 25, 2010. As of right now, the need to spend has increased so much for necessary items that I haven't given a single thought to buy something simply for pleasure. A recent article in Business Week discussed how consumer confidence is dropping, a contradiction against all the predictions of the recovering economy. I can sympathize with this and so can many of my classmates. Posted by Kinjal Shah. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We are a Monied Suburb. More About Monied Suburbs.

http://stlouis.patchworknation.org/2009/07/race-and-economy.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Race and the economy. Two of the most talked about aspects of diversity in America are economic diversity and racial diversity. Of these two qualities come some of the country's most astonishing accomplishments as well as its most dismal failures. In St Louis, there is a wide range of both. At the St. Louis Beacon, we have taken and continue to take an in-depth look at both of these issues, with our "Race, Frankly" and "Uneasy Street" series. To give us their personal perspectives ...
