The economic outlook presented in this paper is for the three-quarter period from January to September 2008. In terms of fiscal years this period is the second half of FY 2008 and the first quarter of FY 2009. The economic outlook is identical to the one the Consensus Forecasting Group used in arriving at their forecast this month. The dominance of the goods-producing sector in the state economy is expected to be responsible for slow growth in Kentucky. During the final two quarters of FY 2008 personal income is estimated to increase by 4.1% compared to a 4.3% increase nationally. Income from wages and salaries is expected to grow even slower due to the poor outlook for the traditionally high-wage manufacturing sector. Employment in goods-producing industries has declined dramatically i...

The Missouri economy peaked in Calendar Year 2007, but -- as with nearly all states -- Missouri is struggling against the tidal wave of the national recession. Missouri employment has been on a general decline since October 2007. According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics' data, through the twelve months ending November 2008, the state lost 23,200 jobs, a decline of 0.8%. Missouri's economic outlook over the next two years is similar to that of the nation, weighed down by the general outlook in the housing and automotive industries. Revenue forecasting is challenging under the best of circumstances, and becomes even more difficult when the questions become -- as it is for Fiscal Year 2010 -- whether a stumbling national economy will recover and when, and whether Missouri will lead or la...

The Missouri economy, like that of the US, continued to grow in Calendar Year 2007, but has come up against the strong currents of the housing and auto manufacturing slowdowns. After peaking at record levels in the spring, Missouri employment declined slightly into the autumn. According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics' data, through November 2007, the state gained 12,000 jobs over the previous twelve months, growth of 0.4%, and 87,900 jobs since January 2005. Missouri's economic outlook over the next two years is similar to that of the US, weighed down by the general outlook in the housing and automotive industries. Revenue forecasting is challenging under the best of circumstances. When uncertainties overshadow the economic forecast, the undertaking becomes even more difficult. Articl...

For the past couple of years, the titles of the Tennessee Valley outlook articles have alluded to a progressively struggling economy, with slowing gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Prospects for 2009 are not any better. Although the fourth quarter drop was large, it was held up by inventory accumulation, which means that businesses will be cutting production even more than expected in the first quarter of 2009 to bring inventory levels in line. National GDP is now expected to decline by close to 5.0% in the first quarter instead of the previously expected 3.0%. The Tennessee Valley's economy is expected to generally follow that of the US, with the regional economy performing only slightly worse than the nation's, as it has been doing over the past couple of years. A decline in region...

LONG BEACH - Led by a rebound in global trade and tourism, economists are forecasting robust growth in several key sectors of the area's economy this year, though unemployment is expected to hover above 10 percent in many communities heading into 2012.
The Port of Long Beach, the city's most important economic engine and source of jobs, averaging about 30,000, is coming off its best year ever in terms of annual growth, exceeding 25 percent (including empty containers) from 2009 levels, though that is expected to decline to about 10 percent this year.

is forecasting a record year for 2009 -- not such as surprise, maybe, given that the shop hasn't grown by less than double digits "in at least his 12 years here," crows Phil Deschamps, president of the inVentiv Health-owned company. In the case of Eli Lilly, a mainstay GSW client, the shop expanded its relationship to include interactive visual aids "across the whole business," including the CNS portfolio, and diabetes and oncology products, and scored work on an MS pipeline drug. As global business has grown -- with new far-flung offices and partnerships across the globe -- GSW has added staff at home and away. In order to facilitate a changing industry structure, Deschamps says agencies have to magnify the value of a given brand's positioning. Deschamps acknowledges the ...
