The Survey of Business Conditions results indicate that this recovery is still a slow struggle, but business conditions continue to get just a bit better. As of April 1st, the Tatum Index of Business Conditions remained flat with last month’s 5.9, which is well out of the recessionary range. All indicators in the survey are flat or slightly positive in comparison to the March survey results. Though there are economic problems elsewhere in the world, our respondents are reporting that the U.S. is continuing to move in the positive direction of recovery.
