Six Surprising Signs That the Great Recession Is Over

From the April 9, 2012, Time Magazine.  "Recovery for Real?" by Josh Sanburn.

Well, as we all know, the Great Recession id over for the GRBs, but not the rest of us, but there are things other than job losses and stock performance that might point to its end.

Kind of an interesting list:

UNDERWEAR--  Yearly sales jumped 6.6% in 2011.  Evidently time to replace those extra well-worn shorts.

PAY TV--  Cable and satellite subscribers were up .2% in 2011.    Means Americans are getting some discretionary money.

GOLF--  Rounds played increased 21.4% in January over the same month in 2011.  Maybe it's not just the rich GRBs who can afford the sport.
