Trade association predicts moderate rebound for some industries
According to “Manufacturing upswing predicted for 2010” by Rick Barrett of the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, analysts believe the manufacturing recession may soon be bottoming out. This cautious call for optimism comes from a new report published by the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI, a Virginia-based trade association. Even still, analysts believe a sustained rebound is still in the distance.
According to Barrett, these sentiments echo the experiences of Tim Hanley, vice chairman for Deloitte & Touche, a Milwaukee-based accounting firm.
“Most of the companies I am talking to are looking to 2010 to begin to come back. Most of the estimates of the comeback are moderate increases, but nonetheless they are increases and start to give companies a basis to build from,” Hanley said.
The government announced that in April, “orders increased 1.9%, more than four times the 0.4% increase that has been expected.”
