The economy in 2019 has been strong and steady, with gains in pay raises across the board for blue collar and white collar workers alike. The Stock Market is as crazy as always, but it, too, has been steadily climbing, so that most stocks and bonds are worth more today than they were a year ago. And most economic experts say the wave of prosperity will last until at least this coming November, when the new president is elected — that always marks a drop in the economy. So, all in all, now is the time to create that startup you’ve been dreaming about.
