Americans still fear Recession Posted on September 14, 2014 by kiannab In 2008, the recession in America hit hard, and many Americans were foreclosured and lost their jobs. People still believe the recession is not over and because of their fear they are not restoring the economy back to normalcy. The economy functions based on how consumers save money, or put their money into the market to stimulate it. Currently many Americans are not stimulating the market for fear of a stronger recession to occur and are worried they may lose financial stability. The economy will not be able to recover unless Americans start investing in the market and stimulating the money flow.
