My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha.
There were no significant changes in the past week. In particular, despite the massive downward revisions to employment showing almost no new jobs were added to the economy last year, the best real-time measures of consumer spending, including such discretionary things as dining out at restaurants, continue not just to be positive, but are becoming even *more* positive in the past few months.
As usual, clicking over and reading will not just bring you up to the virtual moment as to the state of the economy, but reward me a little bit for my efforts in collecting and organizing the data for you.
