Anderson Recovering From Great Recession

The Anderson economy is “brightening” while Muncie still isn’t over the hump; that, according to the 2020 economic outlook published by Indiana Business Review. The data suggests that Anderson/Madison County has finally recovered from the Great Recession, while Muncie continues its “long, slow recovery”.  Anderson is seeing near-historic-low unemployment rate, increased wages, and a decrease in food stamp recipients. The good news is Muncie’s unemployment rate decreased last year while average weekly wages increased.
