Spending growth in February matched economists' expectations. The reading on income was a bit

weaker than forecast.

Both the spending and income figures in Monday's report point to a modest economic recovery.

Many analysts predict the economy slowed in the first three months of this year after logging a big growth spurt at the end of 2009.

The economy will expand at a 2.5 percent to 3 percent pace in the January-to-March quarter, analysts predict. That's roughly half the 5.6 percent pace seen in the final quarter of last year.

In normal times, growth in the 3 percent range would be considered respectable. But the nation is emerging from the worst recession since the 1930s. Sizzling growth in the 5 percent range would be needed for an entire year to drive down the unemployment rate, now 9.7 percent, by just 1 percentage point.

High unemployment, sluggish wage gains, hard-to-get credit and record-high home foreclosures are all expected to deter consumers from going on a spending spree — one of the main reasons why the pace of the recovery will be more subdued than in the past.

A RECOVERING ECONOMY?

RESILIENT CONSUMERS: Consumers boosted their spending by a modest 0.3 percent in February even as their incomes stagnated. It marked the fifth month in a row that spending increased.

MORE CONFIDENCE: Consumer spending for the first quarter should clock in at a 3 percent pace, consistent with a modest "” not spectacular "” economic recovery, analysts predict.

HEADWINDS STILL IN THE PICTURE: High unemployment, sluggish wage gains, hard to get credit and rising home foreclosures are forces that will keep consumers from going on a spending spree anytime soon.


This recovery is weak - and occurring in a climate of the government prolonging the recession. We should be seeing higher growth and job creation - but the Big Government policies are retarding both.

Please post the link for where you got this.

Demand for temps called sign of economic recovery
The rising demand for temporary jobs signals better days ahead in the job market, according to the head of a large staffing and recruiting firm in Fort Lauderdale.

The Great Recession has proven deeper and bleaker than Roy G. Krause ever imagined when he saw the employment scene start to sputter in 2007.

But now the president and chief executive officer of SFN Group -- formerly Spherion Corp., one of the nation's largest recruiting and staffing firms -- is seeing early signs of hope in the U.S. job market.

Demand for temporary workers is starting to pick up, he said, and that is typically the first step toward a rebound in permanent jobs.

On Feb. 3, the company, whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, reported it narrowed its net loss to $6.3 million in 2009 from $118.5 million in 2008. Revenue plunged 22 percent in 2009 to $1.71 billion from $2.19 billion a year earlier.

``Demand is certainly better than 90 or 120 days ago,'' Krause said in an interview in his Fort Lauderdale office this week as the company unveiled its new name. ``The trends in January were very encouraging relative to the fourth quarter.''

Survey: Growth Ahead For Midwest Economy
POSTED: 7:51 am CDT April 1, 2010

Comments (undefined)OMAHA, Neb. -- A regional economic index has hit its highest level since May 2006.

According to a report released Thursday, the Business Conditions Index for the Mid-America region hit 64.3 in March, up from 61.0 in February.

It was the fourth increase in as many months for the survey of supply managers and business leaders in nine states: Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

The index ranges from zero to 100. Organizers said any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the next three to six months.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss said low interest rates, a stabilizing job market and declines in U.S. unemployment are behind economic optimism of supply managers in the Mid-America region



You wont come back to this thread anymore huh?

 

[Subhumus]

The people who deny it is starting to recover dont seem to want the recovery.

eh...no. The people that deny that the economy is starting to recover are simply seeing it get worse all around them on a progressive and daily basis. It's kind of tough to buy into the blue skies and sunshine when the immediate forecast indicates severe weather ahead.

Personally, I'm not into weather reports. I'm into "being there" and experiencing the weather as it IS and it SUCKS.

As more unemployed are removed from eligibility? LOL

Census counters account for how many?

Just more lefty nonsense from those that parrot it. They'll believe anything and parrot it as long it takes. Problem is, they start believing it themselves but no one else does.

Yes, you booby. Economies go through cycles - there are more forces at work than just the government. The fact that businesses and individuals are struggling in the face of our government's horrible policies doesn't validate those policies.

The recovery is incredibly anemic - and would be more robust without the current government weighing it down.

ECONOMIC GOOD NEWS is propaganda to those praying for the economy to FAIL

When was the last time the Federal books were in the green Jackass?

When Clinton was President.

ROFLMNAO... Not hardly... In truth it would be back before Wilson...

But in fairness, the Conservative 94 Mid-term Congress, DID drag William the Bubba, kicking and screaming to the closest thing to a balanced Budget in at least a century. And they did it by cutting what?

SOCIAL SPENDING...

Which is the only way the Budget can be balanced, as that is the only thing which challenges a balanced budget: PERIOD!
