63 percent of the country is now listed as in "recovery"

[impik]

The recovery has finally begun in the nation's two largest metro areas, New York and Los Angeles, according to the latest Adversity Index data from Moody's Economy.com and msnbc.com.

Besides New York and Los Angeles, other additions to the economic recovery room include Oakland; Phoenix, Flagstaff and Tucson, Ariz.; Portland, Ore.; Yakima, Wash.; Shreveport, La.; New Haven, Conn.; Albany, N.Y.; Fairbanks, Alaska; Green Bay, Wis.; Knoxville, Tenn.; and Winston-Salem, N.C. The assessments are based on data from March.

Of the nation's 384 metro areas, 240 or 63 percent are now listed as in "recovery," the second-highest category in the Adversity Index, up from 205 in February. Another 143 areas were listed in a "moderating recession," meaning the decline continues, but not so fast as earlier.

6. Recovery? Return to a prior state

So, does that mean we will soon be buying overpriced homes with funny money mortgages and 55-inch TV sets with the money we take out of our second mortgage? That's all that kept the economy going for over a decade.
