Economist says recovery is sustainable
By LARRY RINGLER Tribune Chronicle CANFIELD — The jobs picture might not show it, but the nation’s budding economic recovery will get stronger next year, fueled by the need to replenish business inventories and demand for houses and vehicles, an economist said Thursday. But Ken Mayland, president of Clear View Economics LLC in the Cleveland suburb of Independence, said the economy faces challenges from inflation that could lead to higher interest rates to avoid loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar, along with higher taxes, all of which could lead to a double-dip recession. Mayland told listeners at KeyBank’s annual Economic Outlook Breakfast at Tippecanoe Country Club that key signs of a recovery for him include lower weekly initial jobless claims, which fell to a revised 505,000 a week ago for the second straight week. The claims are down 22 percent from the peak in spring.
