Can't Buy Me Love or Happiness

We know the stock market is down, the GNP is down, the economic indicators are down. We know most companies are seeing less sales and profit.

But does that mean that everybody is also less happy? Some consumer research shows that people are actually happier than they were a year or so ago.

Maybe it's because we've learned we can do without. Maybe we have learned that we need to appreciate what we have.

Maybe some businesses are closer to their customers, more focused on creating great products or services.

Business indicators can be down, but that doesn't have to affect happiness.
