"Manufacturers continued to struggle, with customers canceling orders for business equipment and instruments, according to the survey. Most are still cutting workers because the sector is “bouncing along the bottom.’’

"Retailers are upbeat in Fed poll" by Robert Gavin, Globe Staff | July 30, 2009
The New England economy remains weak, with many firms not expecting business to pick up until next year. But some businesses, particularly retailers, said the worst is over, according to a recent Federal Reserve survey.
Retailers are holding workforces steady, but some say they are hiring talented workers let go by other firms. Consulting and advertising firms also reported a pickup in demand, although sales remain well below last year’s levels, according to the survey. Demand from the healthcare sector, in particular, weakened because of uncertainty about healthcare reform. Few firms cut workers, although some said they will in the second half of this year if business remains weak.
You know, you start to ask yourself JUST WHERE -- exactly -- the JOB LOSSES CAME FROM because that last paragraph makes it sound like there are none!!!!

But don't worry, that's GOOD NEWS!
Residential real estate remained sluggish, although some realtors cited signs of improvement. In Greater Boston, sales in June were down only 5 percent from a year earlier....

“The manufacturing recovery is happening now,’’ said Dean Maki, chief US economist at Barclays Capital Inc. in New York, who predicted a gain in orders excluding transportation.
