Kauffman Releases Findings in Its Second 'Economic Outlook: A Quarterly Survey of Leading Economics Bloggers
The U.S. economy's continued expansion gives leading economics bloggers a more balanced -- if not exactly sunny -- outlook than last quarter, according to a new Kansas City-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation survey released. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis' advance report, released last Friday, shows a 3.2 percent growth rate (annualized) of gross domestic product during the first quarter of 2010. Anticipating positive movement in the GDP and other key indicators, 59 percent of economics bloggers who responded to the mid-April survey described the economy's overall condition as "mixed," with the rest evenly split between positive and negative assessments. A third of respondents believe the economy is "worse than official government statistics show" while just 14 percent say it is "better."
