Restless Econony

Recent reports on the economy strike very different tones:

Things are either getting a lot better or getting a bit worse again

We can choose which reports to base our next moves on, the good or the bad ones. Or maybe, it is true that things will get better and worse... because it's not like there is one economy, there are numerous ones. It is conceivable that mass retailers will be reducing their locations while other industries are growing.

There's another word for all of this: change. We cannot count on things being as they were, not only two years ago, but six months ago. It's a restless economy: we cannot rest.
