The federal government declared the recession
of 2008 officially over in June of 2009. Four years
later, where do we stand? We evaluated the cities
hardest hit by the recession, as defined by the
Brookings Institute Metro Monitor, which assesses cities on employment, unemployment, output
(GDP), and house prices. We then used Radius to
learn more about the businesses that sunk the
lowest in 2008.

To determine how gun legislation may affect the econ- omy, we dove into the state of small and medium sized businesses that cater to gun owners.

A number of metro areas were hit hardest by the
recession in 2008, and while a number of those
regions have climbed back out of recession, a

7. conclusion
Our research into recession-ravaged cities
exposed us to a side of the social media story
that’s unfolding across America’s businesses: the
impact that social technology may have on busi-
ness success. As we explore the impact of
web-adoption on businesses, we look to a new
set of questions about the viability of business-
es. Can adoption of social media indicate resis-
tance to recession? Does web-savviness indicate
growth potential? Does enthusiasm for social
media spread in regional patterns? Why do
certain industries adopt web technology faster
than others? Are businesses web-savvy because
they’re successful, or are businesses successful
because they’re web-savvy?
