As many college grads may know, student debt is no laughing matter. So when one journalist from Columbus, Ohio, paid off $30,000 in student loans in just three years, she sympathized with others’ financial woes and opted to share how she got out of debt so quickly.

February Regional Business Surveys Find Widespread Supply Disruptions this post authored by Jason Bram and Richard Deitz
Business activity increased in the region’s manufacturing sector in recent weeks but continued to decline in the region’s service sector, continuing a divergent trend seen over the past several months, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s February regional business surveys. Looking ahead, however, businesses expressed widespread optimism about the near-term outlook, with service firms increasingly confident that the business climate will be better in six months.
The surveys also found that supply disruptions were widespread, with manufacturing firms reporting longer delivery times and rising input costs, a likely consequence of such disruptions. Many firms also noted that minimum wage hikes implemented in January in both New York and New Jersey had affected their employment or compensation decisions.
