UMC VP paints upbeat view of U S economy at Rotary
Steve Layfield of Abingdon Virginia vice president of UMC told Bluefield Rotary the economy is in pretty good shape. He cited 1995 to 2000 as the best sustained growth since the late 1960s and noted deflation rather than inflation as a current concern. He said growth is modest and not a recession, with 80 percent of expansion in savings deposits and real wages rising about 2 percent.
