Omaha.com reports that “Nebraska will face challenges as its economy recovers, but the situation won’t be as dire as that facing many other states, according to the Nebraska Business Forecast Council.”
“Nebraska will benefit from relatively strong key industries, including agriculture, and stable property values,” said Eric Thompson, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln economist who helped write the report.
The story notes that “the forecasters expect that the U.S. economy will begin to grow before the end of 2009,” and “in 2010, the economists expect solid job and income growth, with farm incomes stable and above average.”
