How do you feel about the economy? – NYT Survey

March 31, 2009

I have come across this interesting survey that NYT has posted on it’s website. All visitors to NYTimes.Com can type in a word or select some words that keep scrolling (based on previous user input I think) that they think best describes the current economic situation. The user can specify if  he/She is Employed or Unemployed or Neither.

These are some of the most popular words under each category selected by NYT readers:

Everyone:

  • Hopeful
  • Anxious
  • Optimistic
  • Cautious

Employed:

  • Hopeful
  • Powerless
  • Stressed
  • Anxious

Unemployed:

  • Hopeful
  • Anxious
  • Optimistic
  • Cautious

Interesting Idea. So, people are Anxious and Cautious but Optimistic and Hopeful too. If you’re interested, you can give it a shot here.
