Economic Forecast: We see a continued growth in all markets, except for manufacturing. Job growth will be stable, but shortages in skilled labour will add to the double digit increase in construction costs for 2008. Continued immigration, the cost of oil, and the realism of an equal dollar will drive the economy.
