There are a number of signs that should bode well for the furniture industr=

Partly sunny with a chance of uncertainty (http://info.progressivebusinessm=
edia.com/e1t/sc2/Mm-nFbjPsFKW4XL0MK6Pbln0W6F6Tgv63drnPW5ZDwKj87gJGrf1CYJMH1=

There are a number of signs that should bode well for the furniture industr=
y in the coming year. Among them, near-record consumer confidence, an unemp=
loyment rate approaching economists' definition of full employment and soli=
d growth in GDP and jobs.

Clouding the outlook, however, are housing numbers that are less than robus=
t, including declines in construction and existing home sales, rising housi=
ng prices and decreasing supply. This is particularly true in the price seg=
ments sought by Millennials, the largest potential base of new homebuyers.

Millennials accounted for 36% of homebuyers last year, the largest percenta=
ge of any demographic group. However, paying the lowest average price and w=
ith a median income below the overall median, they are being squeezed out o=
f the market by rising prices and a shrinking supply of suitably priced hou=
sing options.

In the short term, the question for furniture retailers and manufacturers m=
ay be how to get apartment-dwelling Millennials to replace their new home a=
spirations with new furniture aspirations.

THE U.S. ECONOMY: Optimism abounds (http://info.progressivebusinessmedia.co=
m/e1t/sc2/Mm-nFbjPsFKW4XL0MK6Pbln0W6F6Tgv63drnPW5ZDwKj87gJGrf1CYJMH23 )

America's economic rejuvenation is going strong. The U.S. economy added the=
 largest number of jobs in more than 18 months in February with 313,000. GD=
P growth has grown to just shy of 3%, an astonishing feat when looking at r=
ecent history. "The economy has a lot of momentum; things feel and look goo=
d," said Mickey Levy, U.S. economist at Berenberg Capital Markets.

TODAY'S CONSUMER: Consumer confidence highest since 2000 (http://info.progr=

The Conference Board reported Consumer Confidence at 130.8 for February, up=
 slightly from January's rate of 124.3.

"Consumer confidence improved to its highest level since 2000 (Nov. 2000, 1=
32.6) after a modest increase in January," said Lynn Franco, director of ec=
onomic indicators at The Conference Board.

There are a number of signs that should bode well for the furniture industr=
y in the coming year. Among them, near-record consumer confidence, an unemp=
loyment rate approaching economists' definition of full employment and soli=
d growth in GDP and jobs.
<br><br>
Clouding the outlook, however, are housing numbers that are less than robus=
t, including declines in construction and existing home sales, rising housi=
ng prices and decreasing supply. This is particularly true in the price seg=
ments sought by Millennials, the largest potential base of new homebuyers.<=
