Lightly Optimistic
According to the most
recent UNIMER survey for
the daily La Nación, 36
percent of the
respondents believe that
their family’s economy
will improve in 2009,
while 26 percent believe
that it will worsen.
The number of the
positive thinkers
increased 7 percent as
compared to a similar
poll done last August.
On the other hand, the
outlook for the nation
is gloomier, since 51
percent of those
surveyed think that
Costa Rica will be worse
off next year.
Those thinking the same
way in the preceding
poll were 52 percent. In
addition, 20 percent of
Costa Ricans expect that
the country will
improve, 4 percent more
than in August 2007.
Regarding basic needs,
half of the population
said they satisfy them,
compared to 33 percent
before. The one sector
which did not vary was
that of those who claim
that they are little or
not satisfied regarding
the meeting of their
basic needs, 28 percent. |
