July 10, 2009

According to Robert Nabors, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, the job loss rate is slowing – even though June saw a loss of 467,000 jobs. Other indicators such as durable goods are on an up turn. Yet the daunting numbers are leaving Americans wondering if the $787 billion stimulus plan is actually stimulating the economy.

Larry talks to Neil Irwin of The Washington Post and listeners about the mixed bag of economic indicators.
