Economy, the economy or the economy. This election year my family and I are most concerned about, of course, economic problems, particularly unemployment. "In Washington, Steve, a middle school when the teacher told reporters.

In order to understand the concerns of voters, the reporter recently with the Virginia, Washington, 20 the average American voters conducted exchanges, including secondary school teachers, restaurant waiters, supermarket cashiers, firefighters, restaurant owners, taxi drivers, retired people and other groups. The results showed that, in addition to four U.S. voters due to the recent parcel bomb incident cargo plane that terrorism is the biggest concern, other voters, without exception, said high unemployment, high government deficits, medical insurance and other economic issues are the number one concern at the moment .
Observed with some U.S. authorities and the media closer to the latest poll results. "The Wall Street Journal" and the NBC 1 poll published in the Democratic Party, Republicans and centrists, the most issues of concern to select the "economic and employment", respectively, accounted for 36%, 38% and 45% this year American public's attention on economic issues is evident from the high.
Steve said that the U.S. capital of Washington because of its special status, by the slow pace of economic recovery is not, but he has many relatives who lives in Florida, where the unemployment and housing problems much more serious than, the capital.

Virginia firefighter Kevin similar views and Steve. He said: "Although I was a fireman, but usually chat with my colleagues and I are mostly related to economic issues, especially unemployment, after all, the front page of every newspaper has a lot of economic news. We do not cut the fire brigade staff, but there are some other industries is very bad. I have three children, some of them parents of kindergarten for a job. "
A Baide domino chain of pizza cook this round of economic crisis also affected. Extended more than a year "jobless recovery" situation and the public propensity to consume is clearly prudent to make the business of some U.S. businesses affected. A Baide Washington eight months ago is still operating his own pizzeria, because business was bad, only to close down, now the chain pizza cook.
"Chain pizza business is good, because the small special Monday to Friday only five dollars a pizza, which I used to sell the store to eight, nine dollars one. I have recently found that office workers like to buy this cheap eat, spend a lot of people are not too lavish a time. "
