Personal Income, Construction Spending Up

NEW YORK - Manufacturing expanded in November in industries ranging from
apparel to tobacco, a widely watched survey showed on Thursday, and
several other reports painted a picture of a U.S. economy gaining
strength. The government reported that personal income and spending edged
up in October, construction spending rose that month and fewer Americans
applied for unemployment insurance last week _ all signs of a surprising
resilience after one of the worst hurricane seasons on record.



Construction is up because of the rebuilding after the hurricanes.



New home starts are up, and too soon after the hurricanes to have much
impact from them on new home starts. Still having to get insurance and job
settlements out of the way. You sound bitter, that the USA is not
completely tanked. You an operative for the enemy (whichever one)?
