Budding Economic Growth Expected in Spring and Summer As Harsh Winter Fades
PR Newswire - Thu Mar 20, 8:00AM CDT

The near-term outlook remains somewhat clouded due in part to an unsustainable build-up in inventory in the second half of last year and as downside effects from the winter have yet to fully materialize. However, the return of weather to seasonal norms should help boost growth in the second quarter, supported by consumer spending, business investment, and housing starts.
