Economic Forecast: Sunny with 100% Chance of Continued Showers

With so much of the economy pegged on housing and so much of the housing sector depending on improvement in a dim jobs picture, it is interesting for economists to predict growth in the rest of the Los Angeles economy. Especially when their bottom line sounds like this:

“A year from now, [housing] prices will be at best where they are today and in some parts of the area it will probably be a couple percentages lower,” said David Berson, vice president, chief economist and strategist of consulting firm The PMI Group.

Economists. Astrologists. Meteorologists. :)

What do you think the Los Angeles economy will look like in a year?
