Colo. unemployment rate dips in October [Denver Post - 22 mins ago]

British Retail Consortium economist Richard Lim said: "The official data confirm our findings that October's retail sales growth was stronger than September's. "Lim underlined the difference between the economic climate at the end of 2008 and last month: "A year ago customers were extremely nervous about spending. Now consumer confidence is rising and there's a sense that there is some spending out there to be fought over. Shops have already begun to discount and promote in earnest as they fight it out to win what custom there is to be had."

...expectation level which is the highest forecasted level in the previous nine surveys, according to the results of last quarter's Phoenix Management "Lending Climate in America Survey. Sixty-three percent of respondents believe the 2009 holiday retail spending activity will be very similar compared to 2008. Twenty-eight percent of lenders believe that the 2009 holiday retail spending activity will decrease compared to last year's activity, as a result of increased consumer fiscal awareness and less disposable income. Nine percent of respondents are hopeful that holiday retail spending in 2009 will be higher than in 2008 due to improvements in consumer confidence. This is an extremely important economic indicator as consumer spending represents approximately two-thirds of our nation's economy. 'It's great to see such confidence in the direction our economy is headed,' said Phoenix Managing Director and Shareholder Michael Jacoby. 'However it is interesting to see the differing opinions on the government's impact on the economy during the past year.' Results show that lenders are mixed regarding the U S Government's impact on the financial industry during the past year. Forty-five percent of respondents believe the economy is in a better position today because of the government's interaction than it would have been without its aid. Twenty-two percent of lenders feel that massive government spending of over $1 trillion in order to aid the economy will have a devastating impact on our nation's massive fiscal deficit, which will hurt our long-term economic growth. Twenty percent of lenders are thankful that the government used quick and decisive actions which prevented the economy to fall into a deeper tailspin. Eleven percent believes that the government imposed too many restrictive regulations, which will hurt the country's short and long-term economic growth. The remaining two percent gave 'Other' responses. More than half of all respondents - 55 percent - believe that today's business owners' main emphasis regarding their own business model is focused on short-term survival with an anticipated recovery. Even though over 50 percent of polled lenders indicate concern regarding their clients' business models in the current economic environment, 17 percent believe that business owners' are capitalizing on market opportunities as a result of other competitors' struggles, while 16 percent are confident in their business model navigating them through the current economic environment. According to lenders, twelve percent are solely focused on surviving the recession.
