Leading Economic Indicators Rise In May. “The U.S. index of leading economic indicators signals that the U.S. economy will stay on a high growth path through the summer months, the Conference Board said Thursday. The index of leading economic indicators rose 0.5 percent in May. This is the third straight monthly increase. The rise in the index in May was above expectations. According to a survey conducted by CBS Marketwatch, economists had forecast the leading index to rise 0.3 percent. 'The data reflect a robust economic environment this spring and point to more of the same this summer,' said Ken Goldstein, an economist at the Conference Board. The current 3.5 to 4.5 percent growth rate in the leading index is signaling the continuation of a GDP growth rate around a 5.0 to 5.5 percent annual rate. Eight of the 10 indicators increased in May, led by factory hours and money supply.” (“Leading index points to more growth,” CBS Marketwatch.com, 6/17/04)

No I'm saying jobs are not paying ok.

You must be affluent or not understand whom the tax breaks benefit.
