Turner, Nick; Becker, Krista J.; Hershbein, Brad; Gerew, Nelson; Aghdasi, Eamon; Back, Thomas; DeCoff, Tom (2004-04)
Burdened by the poor performances of the labor markets in Connecticut and Massachusetts, the New England region lost jobs for the third year in a row. The region lost jobs in nearly all major industries and added jobs in only two: leisure & hospitality and education & health services. Even with an unemployment rate that rose, New England had a lower rate of joblessness than most other Census divisions and the nation overall. Demand for residential real estate remained strong, as home prices soared at above-average rates. Consumer price inflation persisted at a higher rate in the region than ...

The economic performance of the New England states in 2004: an overview
Mergo, Teferi; Hershbein, Brad; Gerew, Nelson; Aghdasi, Eamon; DeCoff, Tom; Turner, Nick (2005-04)
The year 2004 marked the beginning of New England?s economic turnaround. After three consecutive years of job losses ? not to mention 86 years of World Series famine ? the region emerged victorious. All six New England states added jobs over the course of the year and experienced reductions in unemployment. Job growth in the region, however, was sluggish compared with the nation overall. Recovery was also reflected in strong exports growth, increases in the economic activity index, and improved consumer confidence. Although consumer price inflation in New England was milder than in recent ...

An overview of New England's economic performance in 2010
Tarquinio, Lisa; Dennett, Julia; Coyne, David; Kessler, Ryan; Clifford, Robert; Elmatad, Tal (2011-04)
In the first calendar year following the Great Recession, signs of an economic recovery began to take shape across New England. An improving labor market picture, growth in income, indications of a stabilizing housing market, and booming exports spurred economic growth in the region in 2010. As a result, New England?s overall performance surpassed that of the nation as a whole.

Like father, like son: have we changed our penny-pinching ways?
Conaway, Carrie (2003-04-02)

Six-state review
Quigley, E. Matthew; Lydon, Amanda; Gong, Lin (2002-10)
New England states are facing their worst fiscal crises in at least a decade. General revenues, especially those from the personal income tax, fell sharply in every New England state except New Hampshire in FY2002. All six states closed the fiscal year with deficits. Although preliminary reports suggest that FY2003 revenue collections in some states may be up from last year, deficits are still expected throughout the region. In response, all six states are cutting expenditures, drawing down reserve accounts, and/or raising taxes and fees.

An overview of New England's economic performance in 2007
Gupta, Charu Nidhi; Clifford, Robert; DeCoff, Tom; Papoulias, Elena (2008-05)
New England?s economy showed bright signs of growth in 2007, but residential real estate cast a shadow. Job growth was moderate and on par with that of the nation, but the region fared better with an unemployment rate lower than the national average. Exports from the region rose in value, but at a lesser pace than seen in the nation. Although the region remained the richest in per capita income, growth in total personal income in New England was slower than in the nation. Declining home prices, a significant reduction in housing permits, and spikes in foreclosures rounded out a generally ...

Following the economic boom of the late 1990s, the current recessionary period has caused revenues to decline and demand for government services to rise. Now, government executives and lawmakers, faced with persistent budget deficits, are struggling with difficult decisions: "What cuts should we make?" "Could we, should we, raise taxes?" "How deeply do we dip into quickly diminishing reserves?"...

The economic performance of the New England States in 2002: an overview
Fitzgerald, Mary C.; Aghdasi, Eamon; Back, Thomas; DeCoff, Tom (2003)
Following a weak performance in 2001, New England's economy continued to struggle throughout 2002. The region faced faltering employment levels, rising unemployment, and escalating consumer prices. Economic uncertainty was reflected in dwindling consumer confidence. Despite a rather gloomy labor market, New England's residential real estate and export markets flourished.
