Is this an indication that consumers are becoming more confident in the spending and futures?
In that same article it is indicated that national home prices rose for the first time in three years.
While the indicators are still far below that of a healthy economy, there is promise of a brighter outlook.
Some economists expect a growth of about 2% in the next quarter. Hopes are for stronger consumer spending for the recovery to keep from fizzling.
