The document summarizes economic indicators that suggest Houston entered a recession in August 2008 and exited the recession in September 2009, three months after the national recession ended. It analyzes data on employment, manufacturing, oil rig counts, airport traffic, vehicle sales, home sales, and purchasing manager surveys to determine the timing of Houston's recession and recovery. While the recession is over, the recovery has been gradual with only slow job growth and lingering weakness in sectors like construction.

Economy and equity markets: are they disconnected?Markets Beyond
Equity markets are not disconnected from the real economy and there no reason, under the current circumstances, to fear a market collapse. The S&P 500 is however no longer cheap.
Weekly Market Snapshot, September 25, 2009Jeff Green
Recent economic data were mixed and somewhat disappointing, but still consistent with a gradual economic recovery. In August, the Index of Leading Economic Indicators rose for a fifth consecutive month. Existing home sales slipped 2.7% in August, following a 15.2% rise over the four previous months. New home sales rose in August, but less than expected.
Thousands of employers are turning to human resources outsourcing firms and Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) as a way to cut employment costs, reduce HR risks and improve efficiencies.

The economic data were mixed, but, generally, on the strong side of expectations. Consumer confidence improved in August. It is still relatively weak by historical standards, but moving in the right direction. Evaluations of current job availability remained depressed, but were not quite as bad as in July. New home sales rose 9.6% in July, while figures for the three previous months were revised higher. Durable goods orders jumped 4.9% in July, reflecting a spike in civilian aircraft orders (a moderately positive trend otherwise).
The economic calendar was thin this week. The Fed’s Beige Book noted that “economic activity continued to stabilize in July and August.” Not exactly a booming assessment of the economy, but better than the previous report. The July trade deficit showed improvement in both imports and exports – further evidence suggesting that the U.S. and global economies have bottomed. Consumer sentiment rose in early September.
