C. Littlemore In my part of the world (central Canada) I measure the economic growth of the area by the number of household appliances my company delivers. We are subcontracted to do Sears home delivery.This has been keping my men busy,but now they want more delivery trucks on the road.Therefore sales must be increasing and customers must have more money to spend. Ergo. the economy in my area is BOOMING.
