Dissmal Days Are Over!


The internal optimist in me says "look how far we have come!". Here are a few stats to remind you why we live in a great nation and in a great time.

Roughly 90% of the states have added jobs during the most recent 12-month period. Formely, every state had dealt with recession at some point during the past three years.

The upward "mobility" of the typical American remains the greatest in the world. Why? The U.S. economy "rewards" the combination of hard work and educational achievement more than ever before...and more than any other country in the world.

Average U.S. life expectancy has reached 78.2 years (men 75 women 80), the highest ever. This compares to 76 years in 1995, 68 years in 1950 and 47 years in 1900.

The list goes on and on but this is a great time! Live it up!
