Ernie Goss Expanding Quotations

It's hard to say why the losses are so great in Missouri, but a lot of it has to do with heavy manufacturing. Companies are able to expand in terms of new orders without expanding employment. That's not entirely bad. I mean, it may be bad for the workers, but not for the economy.

Despite difficulties for Missouri's vehicle manufacturing sector, durable goods manufacturers overall continue to report expanding economic conditions. I expect the state's telecommunications industry to experience much improved growth for 2006.
