Babson’s 1948 Outlook Warns of Delayed Downturn
Babson Park Florida March 12 Roger W Babson says the 1947 boom is unsustainable and that a recession may be overdue but not in 1948. He forecasts a 5 percent drop in 1948 business volume from 1947, with national income near 100 billion dollars and buying power remaining high. Labor aims for wage increases while inflation and commodity prices may wobble, and strong international leadership is needed to keep the economy healthy.
