AP analysis: Economic stress drops in most areas
WASHINGTON — Economic stress declined in March in nearly three-quarters of the nation's 3,141 counties, according to The Associated Press' monthly analysis of conditions around the country.
The gains were due to an improving job market in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast and a steadying of foreclosure rates across the Sun Belt.
In 38 of the 50 states, economic distress dipped or was unchanged from February, AP's Economic Stress Index found. Nationwide, foreclosures worsened slightly. Bankruptcy rates did, too. But those declines were offset by a better jobs picture.
Yup. the recovery is WELL underway. By the end of summer we'll have seen a marked improvement. It won't be "fully well" yet (that'll take another year or so) but the path ahead will be much more clear (and much brighter).

Anyone that thought this was going to magically end in one quarter is delusional. Every improvement is welcome.
