Current Report
Regional Economic Stabilization Quickens
The Washington Area Coincident Index and Employment forecasts both point to a stabilizing economy that appears set to grow later this year. While the Coincident Index recorded a 1.8% month-over-year decline in June, the smallest in roughly 5 years. Looking forward, the Employment Forecast predicts that payroll jobs in the Washington Area will increase on a month-over-year basis in October, an outcome that would have positive ramifications for the region’s broader economy. Barring any further dramatic shifts in federal policy, the region’s economy has nearly stabilized and appears set for near-term growth.
