Its doing better than what the news would lead you to believe. The dow being up or down doesn't really impact people on a daily basis other than to depress them because they just finished watching a TV show on how bad things are, not because their life actually sucks. Compared to other recessions, unemployment is surprisingly low. Negative news gets lots of play but I haven't heard many people talking about how their relatives or friends are laid off and had to move across country to live with their parents or siblings or crazy shit like happened in the Great Depression.
