Well, my company is retail and we see it. People are tightening their belts, the dollar is at an alltime low, prices are skyrocketing on necessities and families are losing their homes. I didn't say we were in a depression, but I'm fairly certain most folks don't feel like we have a strong economy. Feels very much like a small recession (so far).
