U.S. Economy Seen Rising Strongly in 1968 Forecast by ISU Economist
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell predicts 1968 GNP between 835 and 845 billion dollars, a 6.4 to 7.6 percent rise from 1967, with real output up 3 to 4 percent after higher prices. Private spending, housing, and consumer demand expected to propel growth, while federal outlays and tax effects add uncertainty. Agriculture faces strong domestic demand, high farm exports, and rising farm costs, with employment aiding off-farm workers and farm labor costs increasing.
