Consumers Redefine Value in the Recession: Sauna Sales Prove Preventive Health Is an Essential Investment
Date:3/23/2009

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the U.S. has been in recession since December 2007 and nearly half of U.S. residents have cut back on spending.
