Do you think the recession is over?

When reports keep showing Levy County's unemployment rate at 13.6 percent (as it was in August) it may not feel as if things are getting better. But a group of economists in Massachusetts who decide such things say the recession that started in 2007 ended in June 2009. Housing starts were also up in August — nationally. But in Levy County foreclosure sales are up from once a week to three times a week.

I like to look on the bright side of things — commercial land is changing hands and that usually means the housing market and economy will be on the upswing — but I just don't know.

What's you take?
