Some sector of economy in US are showing strong recovery

There are still many miles to go for the economy of USA before it reaches the level of normalcy but recently there have been signs that the nation’s battered manufacturing and housing sectors are well on the tracks to recovery.

In October the comprehensive health of the manufacturing category reached its highest point since the last three years according to Institute for Supply Management. Employment in this sector increased for the first instance after a lapse of 15 months. The recovery was fueled by production increases and fall in inventories. The example might be cited of workers in the assembly line turning stocks of iron and steel into automobiles.

The executives in the manufacturing sector welcomed these numbers to be a sign that the engine pushing the economy was in a “sustainable recovery mode.” But some experts tend to be more cautious bearing in mind that the recovery has largely been due to the government’s cash-for-clunkers scheme in which dollars had been poured into the falling automobile sector. Concerns are being raised because of a fall in the number of new orders – this number being the indicator for future activity of the factories.

There were also signs of recovery in the housing sector. The National Association of Realtors have reported the sale of existing homes have increased for the 8th running month in September. But part of it has been because of the government initiative of offering tax relief to the first time buyers. This is scheduled to expire in November. Pundits continue to make gloomy predictions about continuation of foreclosure waves.

Bernard Baumohl of Economic Outlook Group said, “We’re finally seeing some natural momentum begin to take place in the housing market. It is absolutely essential to strengthen the housing sector to get this economy and the banks up and running again.”

Construction works on new buildings are showing signs of increases. The Commerce Department noted that spending on new building constructions have climbed to a new high in one year touching $940.3 billion.

Recently the government declared the economy of the county had grown after one year for the first time. Thus the longest recession from the time of World War II has come to an end.

These announcements by the government and the media have had a good impact on the stock market but many critics are skeptical because the numbers of foreclosures and unemployment continue to increase.
