As I’ve mentioned previously, I used the page count in Wired magazine to judge the relative health of the U.S. economy. It’s been pretty darn accurate.

Some previous readings:

September 2008 : 218 pages
Feburary 2009 : 116 pages
August 2009  : 132 pages

The current reading?

October 2009 : 148 pages

Things look to be on the way up. Here’s hoping that 2010 will be a blockbuster year. I think it will be.

Update:

November 2009: 174 pages
