Job Growth Back on Track
From the Congressional Joint Economic Committee:
"The economic expansion has regained traction following the soft patch of late spring. Payroll employment growth picked up in August and consumer spending appears to have rebounded in July and August. Business investment spending continues to grow and employment and output in manufacturing are on the rise. Levels of activity in housing markets and new construction remain strong. Exports rebounded in July while imports declined, leading to an improvement in the trade balance. Inflation, inflation expectations, energy prices and long-term interest rates have recently eased. Forecasters see strong growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) for the second half of the year."
