The geography of a recession just shows how seperate the United States of America really is. The economy is dying in states with industial industries such as Michigan, California, Ohio, and Nevada. But the economy has a reverse effect in which its booming in states with farming and mining such as Idaho and Montana.

This is great for the states in which we actually get our natural resources from because they just keep booming and providing more jobs. But now it is much more common for a steel mill town to fall away because of Wal-Mart and outsourcing....(no offense to Wal-Mart specifically). It is fine with me if these western states take advantage of their natural resouces as long as they don't touch the beauty that is out there insome of those state parks

depending on where you are in the country and what your region is doing. middletown is a steel mill town and we are suffering but we might not be suffering as much as another part of america. the united states is all one nation but is very diverse depending on where you are.

I think just because some states are doing well right now or better than others its not going to stay that way.Eventualy those states that are in reccesion are going to have a effect on the states that are doing better.The people in the farming and mining states might be doing well now but when the people are truly affected in the reccesion states by the suffering economy the agricultural states wont have any people to sell thier goods to. So when the demand for these goods go down which they will the states will enter into a recession.
