Recovery on the Way?

The U.S. Department of Commerce and Department of Labor recently released a pair of reports that indicate signs of recovery for the flagging U.S. economy. Wholesale prices rose by 0.3 percent in September to $143.8 billion, according to the Labor Department. The Commerce Department reported that the trade gap narrowed for the fifth month in a row in August, when U.S. imports dropped from $126 billion to $122.9 billion after analysts had predicted an increase.
