Sample Executive Highlight
The economic signals for the U.S. economy are positive. Housing starts are rising to their highest level in more than four years; retail sales (excluding automobiles) faltered slightly in February but remain firmly in growth territory in March at 2.1 percent; annual light vehicle retail sales topped 14.8 million units for the first time since August 2008; the stock market continues to reach new heights every day; and employment is steadily improving. These signals, combined with the indications sent by leading indicators, confirm our outlook: growth through 2013.
