On Tuesday, June 30, the Conference Board reported that its consumer confidence index fell to 49.3 in June from a slightly revised 54.8 in May. Economists had expected an increase to 55. The index was benchmarked at 100 in 1985, a year chosen because it was neither a peak nor a trough in consumer confidence.

The Standard & Poor’s / Case-Shiller 20-city housing price index dropped 18.1% from April 2008 to April 2009. It was the third straight month the index didn’t post record drops, indicating that the slump in home values might be easing.

The Institute for Supply Management reported the monthly index of manufacturing activity rose to 44.8 in June from 42.8 in May. Though any reading below 50 signals contraction, it was the sixth consecutive monthly increase from a record low of 32.9 in December.

The Commerce Department reported total construction spending fell 0.9% in May. Economists had expected a 0.5% decline. Meanwhile, construction spending in April was downwardly revised to a 0.6% gain. Also, a March increase of 0.4% was revised to a 0.4% drop.

The National Association of Realtors reported that its pending home sales index, a forward-looking indicator based on signed contracts, rose 0.1% to 90.7 in May from an upwardly revised 90.6 in April. It was the fourth consecutive monthly increase after the index hit a record low in January.

The Commerce Department reported factory orders rose 1.2% in May, after a revised 0.5% increase in April. It was the first back-to-back increase in nearly a year.

The Labor Department reported the jobless rate rose to 9.5% in June from 9.4% in May. That’s the highest level since August 1983.

Upcoming on the economic calendar are reports on consumer credit on July 8 and wholesale trade on July 9

Welcome to Wes’ Home Business WeeklyTips!

Hello Home Business (HB) Friend,
Welcome to Wes’ SpidersMarketingWeb Home Business WeeklyTips!  Tip #1

Each week you will receive an issue with Home Business (HB) information, articles and quick tips you can use to build your HB.

In this issue let’s talk a little about….

Why You Want to Start a HB?

Working from home is a big dream for many, I know because I’m one of them. But fear tends to holds us back sometimes. To help get past that, below I have listed a few reasons why starting a HB is your best bet in the current economic situation.

Your Great Ideas Comes to Life. You have a great HB idea. This is the number one reason that most people go into biziness from home. Remember the kind of ideas that are good for a HB are ones that can become a reality quickly, and start bringing in an income in a short period of time.

You can do What You Really Love. Most people have something that they really love to do and would even do it for nothing if they could.  Getting paid for doing what you love is not only a bonus… but a dream come true. You have the ability, right now, to make your dream a reality!

You get to be the big boss. No more J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) working your fingers to the bone for someone else. You will be the boss, the one in charge of your destiny and you will reap the big rewards that only having your own HB can bring.

You want more time with your Family and Friends. No more missing out on weekend picnics, children’s special events or Holidays. You will be home for every special moment in your families future.

No More Wasting Time and Money Commuting. THIS IS A BIG ONE! With the high price of gas and the average commute to work being thirty miles one way in terrible traffic, just think of the time and money you will save when you work from home! I live in the north and I can’t tell you how nice it is to not worry about driving in snow, ice and other terrible driving conditions.  Not to mention, wonerful feeling of the 15 second commute past the fresh coffee pot to my home office.

Do you see yourself there?

If so, if any of the above reasons have ever resinated through your mind… Then you are ready to start your own HB. As a matter of fact, if you have ever thought about any of the reasons above or ever wanted your own HB for any other reason… then you absolutely must begin now.  Because you will not feel good about yourself or your life until you make it happen.

In an up coming issue we will discuss how to write your basic business plan. It’s easy!
