BEAUTY SALONS-- Sales grew 5.4% in the last two years. During downturns, Americans do away with the fancy hair stuff. This puts us back to pre-recession levels. I have my own hair cutting set so never go to the barbershop.
EATING OUT-- Annual sit-down restaurant sales up 8.7% in January over the same month in 2011. But wow, the price of meals keeps going up. Just try to get a breakfast with coffee and tip for under $10 anymore.
MOBILE HOMES-- In December, 3,800 units shipped, up 30% from the month before. Strong trailer-park sales may signal strong home sales.
BUT, Some Bad News for the Kids:
THE TOOTH FAIRY-- Per-tooth payouts dropped 17% for last year. This downturn does not bode well for kids. I'd like to know how they figure these numbers?
