It's in the newspapers we read, on the television we watch, on the internet we surf, and in the conversations we have. The current economy is at a place it has not been in a long time, and it's on everyone's minds. Any help is appreciated please!

This could use some definite refining and might not apply to what you need, but could you say something like... It is everywhere. It's in the newspapers people read, on the television they watch, on the internet they surf, and in the conversations they have. The current economy is at a place it has not been in a long time, and it's on everyone's minds.
