The figures that you've cited neglect the fact that there's been a decline in the rate of growth of motor vehicles and parts, which are very important to Michigan and Indiana and Ohio. We're concerned about the fact that residential investment is down in the third quarter from where it had been. We're concerned about the fact that the October figures that came out show that durable goods purchases are down and after considerable increases last year, and gas, oil, and petroleum purchases are up, largely because of price increases. Gary Shoesmith, you're in the South. The picture is really quite different here.
Southeast economy is still very robust, both in terms of employment growth and income growth.
The Southeast is still leading the nation as a whole. We have some very strong states that lead the way, Florida and Georgia, and after that, South Carolina to a lesser degree, North Carolina and Tennessee. So we have a pretty, pretty strong engine down here. In fact it's driving this part of the country. Well, we do have some decline in manufacturing.
