This city has a pretty broad economy and manufacturing sector," says [Sam Rhoads]. "Let's say for example that [[Ian Shepherdson]'s] quote is correct. They would be saying that a lot of Philadelphia industries supply American Axle, so if the company goes on strike, it would impact Philadelphia's industrial index. That's not intuitive to me at all. Rhoads sees a report from the Philadelphia Business Journal about Philadelphia's healthy Center City office market as a sign of potential positives. "You keep your eye on things like supply, which in the real estate market you count in terms of square feet and the vacancy rate," says Rhoads. "There's a little less than 40 million square feet of total office space in Center City, and our vacancy rate is around 10 percent, which is below the n...

The number of Americans signing contracts to buy previously owned homes dropped to the lowest level on record in August as the housing recession deepened. The existing homes market is now in free fall," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics Ltd., in Valhalla, N.Y. "The downside from here is still substantial.

WASHINGTON - In the latest sign that the economy is surging at year's end, unemployment claims have dropped to the lowest level since April 2008, long before anyone realized that the nation was in a recession. Claims fell by 4,000 last week to 364,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the third straight weekly drop. The four-week average of claims, a less volatile gauge, fell for the 11th time in 13 weeks and stands at the lowest since June 2008.

WASHINGTON -- Samuel Demisse's coffee importing business was prospering even after the 2008 financial crisis. New orders poured in, but without enough funding to pay suppliers in Ethiopia, he no longer could fill the demand. Gone were the precrisis days when banks told him he was preapproved for loans of as much as $100,000. Instead, even though he had always made his payments on time, his bank had slashed his line of credit, and others he visited also turned him away.

WASHINGTON - The economy appears slightly healthier than many had feared it was a few weeks ago, raising hopes that it can end the year on an upward slope. A raft of data Thursday show layoffs are trending down to a six- month low and factories in the Mid-Atlantic are growing again after contracting for two months. Nevertheless, home sales fell and the housing market is expected weigh on the economy deep into 2012.

Miles de imigrantes han abandonado la región del Inland Empire debido a la recensión económica y la crisis hipotecaria, factores que han colocado a esta zona como una de las de mayor descenso en todo el país en su población extranjera. Audrey Singer, investigadora del Instituo Brookings, destacó que el desplome obedece particularmente a que en Inland Empire cientos de trabajadores inmigrantes subsistían gracias a la industria de la construcción residencial, y la caída de ese sector expulsó a miles de familias fuera del área. Cifras oficiales confirman que entre 2005 y 2006, la población de personas extranjeras que vivía en los condados de Riverside y San Bernardino se incrementó en 70,000, pero fue a partir de 2007 que los inmigrantes abandonaban la zona por millares, tendencia que se r...

WASHINGTON - The American job market improved modestly in October, and economists looking deeper into the numbers found reasons for optimism - or at least what counts for optimism in this agonizingly slow economic recovery. The nation added 80,000 jobs. That was fewer than the 100,000 that economists expected, but it was the 13th consecutive month of job gains. Fears of a new recession that loomed over the economy this summer have receded.

S. sales of new cars and trucks rose in March, helped by a brighter jobs outlook and rising sales of fuel-efficient vehicles. New vehicle sales rose 11 percent at General Motors, 16 percent at Ford, 23 percent at Honda and 27 percent at Nissan, all aided by sales of smaller, more efficient cars and crossovers, which look like truck-based SUVs but are more fuel efficient and nimble because they are built on car underpinnings. Of major automakers, only Toyota Motor Corp. reported a decline, nearly 6 percent. Nearly all companies reported strong sales of small cars during the month, and large car sales generally were down. But truck sales also were healthy in March for just about every manufacturer, a sign that businesses were buying as the economy continues to recover. Builders started ...
