Prosperity forecast for 1954 diverse across industries
Members of the Business Advisory Council predict continued high prosperity in 1954 with industrial output near 1953 levels. They expect a brief readjustment, higher overall dollar volume, and improved employment, though profits may shrink due to competition. Electrical production could rise over the next decade, autos and steel face profit squeezes, utilities aim to boost output, and petroleum plans push toward nearly 4.6 billion dollars annually.
