Global Issue

United States is a world leader today and almost every country relies on the United States in one way or another. Yeah its great we are number one right now but with our economy troubles we are bringing the world down with us. There is an article in the Zephyrus paper about the economy and how it is going. The first line of the paper is "the recession continues to spread through the economy, leaving no one safe" (Carney 1). With that quote it makes you realize that is there a place to hide from this storm. "Some statistics of how are economy is doing is 500,000 jobs were lost in the United States, Target laid off 1,000 employees, Fairview Southdale Hospital had to lay off 50 employees, and 3M had to lay off 1,800 workers" (Carney 1). How are we doing? "Well Edina has an unemployment rate at 5% copmared to the national average of 7.6%" (Carney 1).
