Can You Judge The Economy By Traffic?
While I was waking up this morning I had a thought….. Normally around 7:00am there is a rush of traffic down my street as people head off to work. This morning that rush was eerily absent. So this got me to thinking that you could judge the state of the economy based on the amount of traffic. I suppose to do this you could look at historical traffic data and compare the morning and even time commutes with things like stock market prices and offical job numbers from the government.
Of course this is all just an observation it could be that gas is so high that people in my neighborhood are choosing to walk or ride a bike instead of drive.
