2004 Will Be the U.S.'S Best Year Economically in Last 20 Years

from Yahoo bq. Revising its year-end economic forecast sharply upward, The Conference Board today projected that real GDP growth will hit 5.7% next year, making 2004 the best year economically in the last 20 years. bq. The forecast, by Conference Board Chief Economist Gail Fosler, expects worker productivity, which set a 20-year record in the third quarter, to rise at a healthy 3.6% next year. That would follow a gain of 4.3% this year. bq. The economic forecast is prepared for more than 2,500 corporate members of The Conference Board's global business network, based in 66 nations. Interesting... Thought we were supposed to be having a recession here. Posted by DaveH at December 11, 2003 3:42 PM
