Foreclosures Still High, Unemployment Wave Forming?
Good news! Well, it's only good news if you ignore the context. The number of foreclosures in April dropped by 9%. But that's because March was a record high. In April we had 333,837 foreclosed properties nationwide. And the job situation isn't getting any better.
In the links below, you'll find a number of stories about recent layoffs. I wonder how American business owners will react to the EU bailout. I'm hearing a lot of RUMORS about Germany exiting the EU this weekend. Frankly, I don't take these kinds of rumors seriously, but the mere presence of rumors can scare others. So I how this doesn't lead to a panic.
But we'll see.
