State forecasters expect Nebraska‘s economy
to remain steady over the next two years while the nation continues
its long journey to recovery.
In its latest report, the Nebraska Business Forecast Council
says slower state job growth is expected this year in the state but
should strengthen in 2013.
Nonfarm income growth is expected to slow because of lower
inflation this year, while farm income drops a little from last
year‘s record levels.
Eric Thompson is director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Bureau of Business Research, which publishes the biannual forecast.
He says the state‘s growth should hover near national levels‘‘
rather than exceeding them, as has been the case in recent years.
