20 Positive Trends - Trend 2: We Use Less Energy


"Despite our increasing standard of living and the greater consumption of energy in the U.S., the average per-person consumption of energy has fallen about 9 percent from its peak during the oil and energy crisis of 1978-1979. Furthermore, the economy as a whole is becoming more energy efficient. From 1970 to 2008 the amount of energy needed to produce a dollar's worth of goods and services dropped 53 percent."

The world is changing while you are job hunting. While most of the media would like us to think things are getting worse, the above has been one of many positive news that may not make the news today these days.

More are coming in the form of positive excerpts from the article 20 Positive Trends in the Good Neighbor Magazine by State Farm Insurance.
