Real GDP experiences long-term growth on par with the bubble period.

Real GDP grew 0.5% annually in the October-December quarter, marking eighth consecutive quarter of growth driven by domestic demand

The fact that it is on par with the bubble period is a period of continuous growth, not a growth rate.

I understand that times like that will never come again.

I think it would be good if it could continue even with low growth.

Growth = increased economic activity = more jobs = more workers = more people with money = better economy

That's just my interpretation lol

I have often heard from business owners in Kochi, not in big cities, that they cannot hire new graduates.

It's sad that there is a shortage of human resources in Kochi, but I guess the economy is starting to improve a little.

That's what I've been thinking lately (is that optimistic?)

Our company survived the worst period.

"We want new graduates!"

"It's gotten better!"

There's no way I can say that. (ヾﾉ･∀･`) Impossible
