		<description>Most businesses are being very cautious right now when it  comes to making statements about coming out of this economic slump that we&#8217;re  in.&#160; I do see a slow trend of businesses  hiring and spending a little bit more than they once did. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.halfpricegeeks.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Half Price Geeks&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I am in industrial sales and I can tell you that my customers have not seen any recovery. It is almost as if there is a new level of where sales are going to plateau. The good news is that it is not getting any worse. The bad news is that it has become apparant the the current government policies have done little to inspire growth. I agree with your article in the fact that all the companies have cut costs dratically and continue to do so. I see it reflected in my selling prices. Everyone is killing each other for orders. Right now everyone is hoping that the cuts they have made will be suffice and that business conditions have stabilized. Those that have been preaching recovery, beware. Michigan is usually the first to see it and the first to come out of it.</description>
