Nebraska economy shows 4.4 percent January gain
Nebraska's January 1977 economic activity rose 4.4 percent from January 1976, though still below December 1976 levels. Manufacturing output edged up, while construction, distributive, and government sectors declined slightly due to weather. Agriculture declined slower than before, with a possible near-term rebound if national trends continue.
