What will the economy do?



Reasons for optimismReasons for pessimism

  • Steady rise in income, including from employment compensation
  • Some drop in the unemployment rate
  • Continued high weekly unemployment claims
  • Continued drop in the number of jobs / people employed
  • Expiration of government stimulus
  • (Premature?) contraction of the Fed balance sheet
  • Sovereign credit issues in Europe
  • Production has caught up with final sales; recent inventory investment likely to run out


I expect to continue to edit this over the course of the first week of July. Suggestions for addenda are welcome.
