Economy Lifting Most U.S. Cities as Growth Quickens, Report Says

Nearly every U.S. city’s economy is projected to grow this year, including areas that struggled to rebound from the recession, according to a report released by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

All but seven of 363 metropolitan areas will see economic gains as the national expansion accelerates, according to the report today prepared by IHS Global Insight, an economic analysis company. That would mark a shift from 2013, when about one-fourth contracted despite national growth.
