An expanding economy can only mean disaster for the world.

The booming economy of the 1920s meant more opportunities even for the lower classes.

There is a difference, though, as to what the economy has meant.

Improving the economy would mean opening the country to foreign investors, much as China has done.

"The worldwide economy means that people have to interact with workers in other countries at different times of day," he said.

The strong economy meant less money was needed for unemployment insurance and social programs.

But a good economy, as we have seen, still does not necessarily mean that there is no employment problem.

A growing economy means there are more financial records that must be handled by these workers.

A slower economy means there is less chance for prices to move higher.

Of course, I do worry about what the economy will mean for our customers.
