I think people have lost a lot of their regular amount of income. They are still spending money now but i think after christmas there will be a huge amount not spent.Abby Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211011734027487873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423696.post-57698279792544681222008-12-08T15:04:00.000-08:002008-12-08T15:04:00.000-08:00In July, unemployment rate rose to 5.7% from a Jun...In July, unemployment rate rose to 5.7% from a June rate of 5.5%. In contrast, Wichita's unemployment rate was 4.3% in June. Payrolls fell by 51,000 jobs. Wichita's export base is still doing well. I think the only reason that Wichita unemployment is not as high as the rest of the country is because the aircraft industry at this point is not having problems, but once they do Wichita’s unemployment will increase and look like the rest of the country.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195826038843274278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423696.post-33876647733291939842008-11-24T14:58:00.000-08:002008-11-24T14:58:00.000-08:00Im glad im in Wichita.
