Orders to U.S. factories climbed in January by the most in more than 4 years

Orders to U.S. factories climbed in January by the most in more than four years as demand for commercial aircraft rebounded after slumping the previous month.

Bookings for manufacturers’ goods increased 3.1 percent, the most since September 2006, after a revised 1.4 percent gain in December that was larger than previously estimated, figures from the Commerce Department showed today in Washington. Orders excluding transportation equipment also advanced, propelled by a jump in demand for non-durable goods that may reflect higher commodity prices.

Companies including General Motors Co. (GM) and Deere & Co. are benefiting from improving demand in the U.S. and abroad, which may prompt further gains in factory employment. The Federal Reserve this week said “solid growth” at manufacturers led to stronger labor market conditions in several regions.

5. Woohoo!! I am proud of my President. He gets so much shit but keeps on creating HOPE for the future

And look at the CHANGE his economic strategy has already wrought.

Republicans will try their best to stifle economic growth via their "job-killing budget plan" but too bad for them they unknowingly passed the "second stimulus plan" aka. a one-year payroll tax holiday, which will soften the deleterious effects of their cuts until 2012, when President Obama will roast their hides over a spit.
