 SHOWCASING THE SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING INDUSTRY
                      Its Impacts on California's Economy

During the month of January, the California Business Minute will be showcasing the business
and economic impacts of the ski and snowboard industry in the Golden State.  Look for articles,
inteviews, research and Minutes on the industry throughout the month.

 
              THE RECESSION IS PROBABLY OVER
                            Let the Recovery Begin

The 2010 statewide forecasts have been presented by the 'big three' universities:
UCLA, Chapman and University of the Pacific.   The California Business Minute
has provided its annual overview and examination identifying issues of consensus
and divergence from them.  See this year's report by clicking on the link below and
see highlights from previous years under the Main Menu (green colored bar) at
CA Insights.

THE RECESSION IS PROBABLY OVER

POSITIVE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY FOR  CALIFORNIA
 Two Indices Illustrate A Glimmer for Golden State

Two indices in the state show some glimmer of turning the corner on the recession.
The Southern California Leading Economic Indicator, an index by the Institute for
Economic and Environmental Studies at Fullerton State rose by 0.22 percent for
the third quarter.   The small if not tiny growth illustrates the prodding recovery that
most economists predict for California.  Second, the Purchasing Managers Index for
the Inland Empire, Riverside and San Bernardino counties although falling 4.9 points,
from 55.2 October to 50.3 in November is still in positive territory illustrating that
the area's manufacturing sector is still expanding.  See more at Region's under
Economic Overview at the Main Menu (the green colored bar above).


RAISING THE REPUBLIC

positive solutions by local and state elected
