Recession Watch

October 28th, 2008 at 11:38am Bob Trojan

I went on a weekend trip using I-90 and O’Hare this past weekend and did my informal “recession watch” as I’ve done before.  Mid-morning and mid-afternoon car travel.  I again was amazed at the car and especially truck traffic in both directions on both days.  Surely, if we really had a recession, wouldn’t the traffic be noticeably reduced?

The United terminal at O’Hare airport also seemed busy as in the past.  I’ve done my share of driving in the past up and back to O’Hare, so I think I have a little experience in this observations.

So if we are in a recession, shouldn’t these indicators tell some of the story?

Or are my rose colored glasses in need of replacement?
