It appears that the economy is getting better. On a national level, bankruptcy filings went from 132,173 in October, 2010 to 106,255 in October 2011. This is a reduction of 19.6%. In New Jersey, bankruptcy filings went from 3,511 to 2,995 over the same period of time. That is a reduction of 14.7%. Not as good as the national numbers, but still pretty good.
Now, does that mean the economy is getting better, or does it mean that people are so bad off that they don’t have enough money to file bankruptcy?
