Index and Impacts

The Recession of 2008 was brutal on everyone in the United States. Economies were thrown out of whack all over the place. There is a way to measure how much the economy is struggling or thriving based on household income. This is called the "Economic Security Index" which also works in conjunction with the "Economic Security Across the American States". In 2009, Utah was at an all time high of 19.5 on the Insecurity list. The national high was 20.5. All in all, the Recession was brutal to all.

I am relating this article to my research in that the Recession is one of the points in history I will be focusing on. It provides background information, with some very important statistics, that will be beneficial to the overall feeling of my research paper.
