Five Years Later

This article is an overall summary of how states in our great country are recovering after the financial crash of 2008. By giving information about single states in relation the whole United States, we are able to see improvements and recovery easily. One example is that of the job market recovery. The Untied States is creating around 190,000 new jobs every month, giving people a chance to earn money again. Still in comparison, 11.5 million people do not have a job. This means that we are still on an uphill climb to being back where we should be. That being said, the key to recovery lies within the market that started it all. The housing market must recover before anything else can.

I related this to the history section of my research because I am looking at how vital small businesses are to the Utah economy. This article showed how the crash effected all types of markets including what I am researching. There are some really good statistics in relation to financial strain as well that I used in my most recent essay.
