Good economic news

from today's DC Sentinel:
Washington (AP) - "Employers holding out for more evidence that the economic recovery is finally taking hold got some Monday: The nation's servie secotr is growing quickly, and contracts for home sales are up."

The article goes on to say that "Factories are producing more. Americans are willing to spend more. And the economy added 162,000 jobs last month, the most in nearly three years. 'It's much better news than we would have thought a few months ago,' said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets."

A leading service index rose to 55.4 in March from 53 in February; readings above 50 are said to show expansion. This is critical because it accounts for "about 80 percent of US jobs, excluding farm workers. It includes jobs in areas like health care, retail and financial services."

Also, the National Association of Realtors said that the number of people buying previously occupied homes rose 8.2% in February. This is considered "a signal of future sales activity."

"Both reports suggest the broader economy is recovering, and employers are taking notice. Recruiters report more interest among their clients in hiring permanent, full-time workers."

Sounds promising, GEN-ers, and we are putting our faith in God, who goes before us and always prepares the way! Be blessed as you walk in faith during your career change. If God is for us--who can be against us, indeed?
