Barometer Down -0.7% in Week Ending December 6, 2008
For the week ending December 6, 2008, the DJ-BTMU U.S. Business Barometer dropped by another -0.7 percent with broad declines across the consumer and industrial sectors of the economy. The year-over-year growth rate for the barometer is absolutely plunging, on par with a contraction not seen since the start of 1987.
