WASHINGTON — The economy grew at a 3.5 percent pace in the third quarter, the best showing in two years, fueled by government-supported spending on cars and homes. It’s the strongest signal yet that the economy has entered a new, though fragile, phase of recovery and that the worst recession since the 1930s has ended.

Many areas of the country are facing next to zero, or negative growth in salaries. However, there are still some areas in the country where salaries are actually growing (mostly in the East coast and many larger metropolitan areas). Kiplingers just released a new article highligting the growth in salaries from the last quarter of 2008 to the 1st quarter of 2009 across the country (this isn’t job growth, but growth in salaries of the employed):
