Changing Gears · Changing Gears Special: “Getting By” Looks At How The Recession Is Affecting Us
January 5th, 2012
Depending on the analyst and the statistic, the Midwest economy is on the mend or still in trouble or somewhere in between.
Getting By, a year-end special from Changing Gears, went beyond the experts and numbers.

"Getting By" participants
Senior editor Micki Maynard and WBEZ’s Steve Edwards gathered at a dining room table with eight Illinois residents from different places and different points of view to discuss the economy’s real world impact on their lives.
We talked about how the recession is affecting everyone, from veterans to business owners, single mothers to people struggling to find work.
