CAN THE UPWARD MOMENTUM CONTINUE? |
Moods, Retail sales rise in tandem; Extra Housing$$ on the rise, Though Modest Compared to 2006; Mortgage Interest Rising, But Savings Continue; Why Not? Out of Pocket Health Care Spending Couldn't Keep Rising at the Recent Pace; Census Overestimates the Population Again; Forget the Participation Rate. Employment & Unemployment Rate will Move Lower With Population. |
