ITR Trends Report: Four Major Sectors, Four Indispensable Values

Packed with economic insights, forecasts, Management Objectives™, and strategies, our monthly ITR Economics Trends Report™ gives your business the edge. This industry-leading forecasting publication includes four comprehensive modules, each featuring individual market forecasts and trends, to cover the complete spectrum of today’s US economy. Each individual module offers its own distinct value.

Core Module

The main module of the Trends Report boasts a wealth of forecasting information. This is where ITR Economics was in print in 2006 warning our clients of the coming Great Recession! Brian Beaulieu's Executive Summary, one of the most exciting components of the Core Module, offers valuable insights from the mind of our CEO into the key events and indicators set to impact the US economy.

Why You Should Read This Module:

• Seeing around the economic corner provides you with a roadmap to success.
• Understanding how current events will likely impact market activity will help you insulate your business from future pain and prepare it to tap future prosperity.
• Seeing where Employment is moving over the next three years gives you a heads-up on future hiring opportunities as well as periods when qualified labor will be hard to find.
• Knowing the health of the consumer will help you better prepare your business for growing or slowing demand.

Financial Module
