From Ars Technica:
Americans are making aggressive use of the Internet during the latest
economic downturn, doing things like searching for jobs and looking for
information on how to save money. Some are even sharing their own ideas
about the economy.
A large majority of Americans have used the Internet to seek advice or
help during the current recession, according to a new report by the Pew
Internet and American Life Project. Whether it's to find out what went
wrong with the economy, look for new jobs, save money, sell personal
items, or apply for loans, 69 percent of all Americans (88 percent of
adult Internet users) now fall into the category of "online economic
users," with Pew noting that these people are making sure to be
extra-networked in order to get through the downturn.
