By any measure, the U.S. economy is massive. Like an ocean, our economy is swept by cross currents and changed by forces beyond its control. Yet, its sheer size means that those forces - increased productivity, rising unemployment, dropping interest rates, global competition -- may only be felt months and often years after they are first sighted. Economic Trends tries to track those forces so IAM members can prepare their families for what lies just over the horizon.
