Economy Shows Signs of Strengthening After Disappointing Year Although financial analysts have been reporting a declining economy for the past four months, new statistics suggest that a recovery is well on its way. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, unemployment rates have plummeted to an all-time low. Furthermore, in the non- farming business sector, productivity has increased by 6.7%. Some experts cite the upcoming elections for the boost in the economy, pointing out that politicians have lobbied for different policies to help win votes. However, the most recent improvements in the economy can hardly be attributed to the elections. Perry DiScala, Professor 10
of Economics at Bale University, comments, “Economic changes are very cyclical and, for the most part, very slow. Although changes in legislation can influence the economy, it usually takes more time to cause the kinds of changes we're seeing here and would by no means produce immediate effects. The recovery we're experiencing now has more to do with events that took place earlier this year.” 169. Where would this article most likely appear?
