The country’s harsh economic state has many of us reassessing what we want versus what we can afford, and higher education is not immune to that kind of scrutiny.
Corner an economist at a cocktail party and he or she will tell you that the recession began in December 2007 and (technically) ended around August 2009, with about 7 million jobs lost during that period.
If you ask the same economist what to expect moving forward, steel yourself for talk about the pros and cons of the Troubled Asset Relief Program and how unemployment numbers are a lagging indicator.
