n its latest survey, the National Association of Business Economists predicts the economy will expand at a 2.6% pace in 2011, down slightly from this year. The NABE upped its forecast for 2010 to 2.7% from 2.6%. Business economists say faster growth is likely to be sidetracked by high debts, a decline in government stimulus and lower business spending, among other things.
U.S. unemployment rate probably will hover above 9% all year. It now stands at 9.6%. “This will mark the weakest post-recession job recovery on record,” the NABE said.
