Modest Growth on a Broadening Base
The underlying tone of the recent economic reports remains consistent with modest economic growth. Consumer spending ended the first quarter on a solid note and spending is now on track to grow at a 2 percent pace in the second quarter.
Reports from the regional manufacturing surveys showed some weakness but the National ISM report came in stronger than expected. The nonmanufacturing survey, however, came in below expectations.
Nonfarm employment rose by 115,000 jobs in April and the unemployment rate fell 0.1 percent to 8.1 percent.
In 1989, Delta Gypsum started in Graham, North Carolina as a distributor of wallboard and related building products. Its current headquarters is in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Founded by Phil Ritchie, the legacy of this mid-Atlantic based premium distributor continues on its family roots and traditions with David Ritchie and John Kindt. The new leadership ushers in the next generation of family to keep growing and serving the many loyal customers and friends we have had for years.
