Downturn Shows Up on Main Street
Neil Irwin and Tomoeh Murakami Tse, of The Washington Post, report: "the stock market plummeted yesterday after a report that businesses that account for a vast portion of the US economy are shrinking. A key index of activity at non-manufacturing businesses fell in January to its lowest level since the 2001 recession, as a downturn that began in the housing and financial markets spread to industries including hospitality, banking, insurance, telecom and retail."
