Economic update

 

This is just a quick update to let you all know how we're doing in our little corner of the world.   I'll try and provide these updates monthly and make them super easy to read in 10 seconds via bullet points.  Charts are courtesy of Bill Conerly.


Bottom line?

  • Big business if pretty confident right now but small business and consumers are not.
  • The cost to borrow money is still ridiculously low.
  • WA state poverty is lower than national average (thanks to a stronger state economy).
  • Employment growth has actually been positive in Tri Cities area (thanks to federal money) but still lags everywhere else.
