Quikrete Industry Dashboard

The "Consumer Watch" dials of the latest version of the Quikrete Industry Dasbhoard tell the story of a strong economy. An unemployment rate of 3.7% and the Consumer Confidence index of 137.9 are the strongest in years. There's also good news at the pump -- gas prices declined to $2.78 for a gallon of regular. Meanwhile, the HBSDealer Stock Watch shows more than half of the companies tracked are ahead for the year.
