It’s been a rough year for the economy. As we get ready to shut the books on May, the timeline for the recovery of the economy still remains uncertain. Reading the tea leaves of the economy has never been a precise science. Doing so when the economy is in a heightened state of flux, as it is now, is nearly impossible.
