Message: From GoLocalProv by Len Lardaro, URI: Fortunately for Rhode Island, April’s economic performance did indeed turn out to be somewhat of an outlier, as I had suspected (actually hoped for, keeping my fingers crossed). Better yet, not only was the April Current Conditions Index value revised higher, from 67 to 75 (the decline in the Manufacturing Wage was reversed last month), for May, the Current Conditions Index rebounded sharply, reaching all the way to 92, as eleven of twelve indicators improved. May’s CCI value is tied with February for the highest level this year. And as strong monthly performances go, May was a very good month. I think it is safe to say at this point that barring an escalating trade war, fears of Rhode Island potentially activating its longer-term FILO status were indeed premature. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/lardaro-rhode-islands-economy-see-big-gains-in-may
