Manufacturing showed further signs of growth in September and construction spending climbed in August to the highest level in seven months, a double dose of encouraging news for the country's economic recovery.

The Institute for Supply Management reported yesterday that for the third month in a row activity at America's factories expanded. The research group's manufacturing index was 53.7 in September, following a reading of 54.7 in August.

Politics never gets mentioned when it's good news.  But bad news is getting so hard to find it has to be manufactured-- but that's only more good news for the manufacturing sector.

The recovery will be felt by the average American when we see job growth. For many out there are more afraid of losing their house if they get unemployed, then having a terrorist destroy it.

As new orders come in, companies will start to hire. The economists have said right along that it occurs in this order.

20% of businesses reported they are hiring in the third quarter of 2003.

This is good, I hope this trend continues. It is good for the country and for Bush.
