The economy is not going to turn around in one or two months. Black Friday sales were very good, but retailers are hoping to get even more sales today, December 17th which has been declared Free Shipping day. Many retailers are offering free shipping to entice customers to spend even more many this season. Deals can be found at FreeShippingDay.com.

There have been rumors that there will be more layoffs coming in January. Watch for increased unemployment numbers. Hopefully the economy will turn around soon.
