Normal, as compared to what? We've had nearly infinite growth in activity (something/0) compared to last year but to a few years ago we're still doing next to nothing. I think now is the new normal and a lot closer to 0. Give us 4-6 years and we MIGHT be closer to the normal of a 3 years ago. At least in these parts our decline started in '07. I believe many parts were way behind us in the fall and are way ahead in the recovery. MN and I suspect MI are high tax, high regulation, high government States. All factors in wrecking a good business climate. OK now tell me it also has something to do with I live closer to the North Pole than the Equator in real terms and climate terms. Yes it did snow very little 10 days ago. But I also think it snowed near Thom yesterday.
Check out this site showing, if you "play it", the collapse and recovery on a state by state basis. You'll note most of the country is in recovery which again just means something more than when they were at the bottom. No comparison to normal. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29976394/ns/us_news-the_elkhart_project/ Chris Cahill, P.E.
