WORTH QUOTING — “Until we see a significant improvement in payrolls, both consumer and business spending will remain distressed. The problem is we won’t see an improvement in hiring until both consumers and businesses increase their spending levels.” Ahmad Ijaz, director of economic forecasting with UA’s Center for Business and Economic Research, as quoted in The Tuscaloosa News.
