At USDemocrazy, we scour the Internet, compiling news stories that we find insightful, hilarious or just plain interesting. Today, during our hard work (OK, we might have been playing Solitaire too), we found some stories from the business world – stories that suggest that the economy is doing better!
First up, Ebay reported growth in earnings for the last quarter and the world’s most famous coffee shop, Starbucks, saw its revenue get a caffeine jolt upwards.
Then, we read the GREAT news that Bank of America was increasing their employees’ paychecks. (Our editors could use a lesson from them!) Wall Street company Morgan Stanley is also spending more money on payroll, recently adding more workers.
Finally, Amazon introduced a plan to pay authors and publishers a greater percentage from their Kindle e-book sales.
Of course, we’re no economic experts (some most would say we’re not experts on anything), but during this time when a lot of folks are suffering, it’s good to hear there is SOME good economic news out there!
