Gauge of US economic activity up 0.4 percent
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer – 5 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — A gauge of future U.S. economic activity rose in January for the fourth straight month, adding to evidence that the economy has strengthened in the new year.
The Conference Board said Friday that its index of leading economic indicators rose 0.4 percent in January. The increase pushed the index to its highest point since July 2008.
The measure of leading indicators is designed to anticipate economic conditions three to six months out. Its steady rise has coincided with other positive data that suggest the recovery is picking up.
The unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent, the lowest in nearly three years, after employers added 243,000 net jobs — the most in nine months. Auto sales are up, unemployment aid applications are down, and factories are cranking out goods at a healthy pace.
"Recent data reflect an economy that started the year on a positive note," said Ken Goldstein, an economist at the Conference Board.
Seven of the 10 indicators measure by the Conference Board increased in January, led by strength in the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates. Three indicators held the index back. The largest negative was a drop in consumer expectations.
Goldstein said a separate index that tracks indicators tied to the current health of the economy had shown some strengthening in the October-December period and in January.
The seven indicators that strengthened in January: the spread in interest rates, average factory hours worked per week, stock prices, a credit index, building permits, and two measures for manufactured goods.

This year so far has been the best start for new projects I have won, since I started my firm in 2003.
We have won over 600k already, and I am shortlisted and in the running for a 7 figure contract, that I will know if I won in a few weeks.
Hawaiian hotel occupancy is way up, people are spending money again.
I hope we are turning the corner, it sure does seem like it.

Hyper appears to think that because his business is mostly based on government/municipal contracts and is located on a chain of resort islands, that their localized economy is representative of the continental US. It so happens that resort areas of Mexico are also doing quite well.
The point being that regions of the globe with an expanding middle class base because their governments aren't crushing their business interests, the expanding middle class of those areas want to spend their money on places they want to go.

Since the vast majority of tourists are from the continental USA coupled with my professional experience in the sustainable tourism industry, I have credibility to back up my assertions.
The economy is improving.

The economy is improving enough for idiots like Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan to get bipartisan traction on austerity which will 1937 us back into a slump.
It took Hitler to get us out of the last depression, I don't know what it's gonna take to get us out of this one, but I do see the seeds for a war brewing in either Europe or the middle east.
Luckily Americans are stupid enough to support needless wars until they later find they are against them.

Yeah the hotel industry and the state tax collection office must be in cahoots and are making up numbers, yeah that's it, Obama controls the Hilton hotel chain.
The economy is improving, much to your chagrin, nonetheless that is the fact of the matter.
