Projections for the future: Employment

Inflation Projections

Good News for You!

Summary Recovery is not as strong as we would like, but many encouraging signs. Most leading indicators remain strong. Manufacturing, Exports, and Investments have all grown substantially. Consumer debt has declined. Projections for solid GDP and employment growth. Real GDP growth between 3-4%/yr., unemployment declines between 1.5-2%/yr. Recoveries take time (especially after a financial crisis). This recovery is stronger than previous (2003) recovery If history is a guide, the growth during the recovery will be greater than the decline during the Recession.
