Predictions for 1941 Business Year From Babson Projections
Babson predicts 1941 will be a strong business year with national growth in employment incomes and sales. He expects a 10 percent rise over 1900 levels, 5 percent income gains, and 20 percent higher residential building, offset by a modest 5 percent rise in living costs. The defense program is seen as the main stimulus. The Roosevelt speech signals potential entry into total war with Germany and Japan, reinforcing a national rally behind the president.
