PNC releases positive annual economic outlook report for Indiana
GREENFIELD — PNC Bank’s spring 2018 survey shows that small- and mid-sized business owners in Indiana have steady optimism about the prospects for the national economy, their local economies and their own companies, according to a press release. Hiring expectations will remain flat, they said.
Indiana’s unemployment fell to 3.2 percent in the first quarter of 2018, lower than the national average. This may pose an obstacle for employers looking to hire as the state is experiencing a tight labor market, PNC said. Leisure and hospitality services declined in 2017, which indicates consumers are not spending. Manufacturing, transportation and utilities were weaker than recent years’ trends.
With support from tax cuts and an increase in federal spending, U.S. economic growth will accelerate in 2018 and the labor market will continue to tighten, PNC said. To prevent the economy from overheating, the Federal Open Market Committee will continue to gradually raise the federal funds rate throughout 2018, according to a news release.
