Service Companies Continue To Grow

Posted: Updated:

WMDT 47 News - According to the Associated Press, U.S. service companies, which employ 90% of Americans, grew at a slightly faster pace in July.

The service sector has now grown for 31 straight months. Service companies include retail, construction, financial services, health care and hotels, among other industries. Economists said the July reading was encouraging because it at least showed a small rebound after a decline in activity in June.
