Areas in recovery
Quote:
Each month, the Adversity Index uses data on employment, industrial production, housing starts and home prices to label each state or metro area as expanding, at risk of recession, in recession or recovering. The index was developed by msnbc.com and Moody's Economy.com, which sells in-depth economic forecasts on metro areas.
Here are the 79 metro areas where the Adversity Index shows a recovery beginning in August. Several of the metro areas cross state lines, and therefore are listed more than once. You can find the list of counties in each metro area here.
