York's Business Cycle Newsletter
York's Business Cycle Newsletter is a quarterly economic report that shows where the national economy is and what you can expect in the coming months and years. Knowing the business cycle, both where we are currently at in the business cycle as well as where the current business cycle is headed, is necessary when attempting to set attainable goals during collective bargaining. Most of what is being reported by the press concerning recession is categorically wrong. Find out for yourself, by reading this economic newsletter each quarter. Many cities are now starting to move away from using the last recession as a basis for claiming poverty and are reaching for the next brass ring - the much reported impending recession. Stay informed and you will not be sucked in by the propaganda - read York's Business Cycle Newsletter today!
