Housing Tips by Willie Featherstone, Jr. Associate Agricultural Extension Agent WHERE IS THE ECONOMY HEADED AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU? All economists agree that the economy is now in a recession. A recession merely means that the economy is in a downturn ? factories and firms have slowed their production, and as a result, unemployment is up. The recession has primarily re sulted from the federal govern ment's efforts to reduce inflation. Earlier this year, the central bank of the U.S., the Federal Reserve, allowed interest rates to rise sig nificantly higher. This in turn made it more expensive for firms to do business and for consumers to spend. As a result, firms and consumers dramatically reduced their spending, thereby reducing the upward pressure on prices and interest rates and lowering inflation from 18% annual rates to 11% annual rates. The costs of this action have been reduced production in the economy and higher unemployment. Un fortunately, these costs were in evitable if the inflation rate was to be reduced. The economy is now at a crossroads. No one claims that an 1 1 % inflation rate (this means that prices, on average, increase by 1 1 % over a year's time) is desirable, yet few people want to maintain the higher unemployment that is prevalent statewide and in Hoke County. However, in order to reduce inflation further, the slow down in the economy most likely must continue. To quickly reduce unemployment to last year's levels would surely rekindle higher in flation rates. How you view this dilemna most importantly depends on your oc cupation. Recession affects dif ferent industries differently. Those hit the hardest are industries producing durable goods which consumers and firms do not need to buy every day. Examples are the auto, housing, furniture, and ap pliance industries. When recession hits and family incomes declne, people stop buying cars, houses, refrigerators, and sofas. If you are a "laid otr' worker from these industries, reducing inflation is secondary to getting another job. It takes longer for recession to affect people employed in service industries. To people in these occupations, reducing inflation is probably more important now. For households whose job(s) and income have not been drastically affected by the recession, the current economic environment may resent some opportunities, usiness failure is more likely during a recession, so liquidation sales may be more common since consumer demand is down and firms' inventories are up. operating businesses are more likely to hold meaningful sales and price re ductions. Therefore, keep your "eyes open" for uncommon good buys. Jim Conoly Gary Conoly Ken Conoly EXTERMINATOR EXTERMINATOR EXTERMINATOR Enviro-Chsm Co. EXTERMINATORS Household Pest Control 120 W.
