Some financial experts believe we are on the cusp of another big recession.
Nationally, foreclosures were up 5% in October. They’re 75% higher in the 3rd quarter this year than the same time last year.
Unemployment rose to 542,000 last week. That’s the highest since 1992, when the economy was exiting a recession.
So how does central Alabama compare to the rest of the country in these economic times? NBC13 HD’s Mike Royer gets the answer in his Fact Finder report.
