Sageworks, Inc used it’s data gathering to answer this question. Sageworks’
data is aggregated in real time at a rate of approximately 1,000
financial statements per day in a shared data model with thousands of
financial professionals.I recommend their credit analysis software for both my bank/CU and my CPA clients.
Their data was used to answer the question: Which industries have actually seen the light of recovery? While individual businesses and even geographic areas will be different, it might help you to know the top five recoveries:
- Manufacturing
- Wholesale Trade
- Retail Trade
- Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing,
and Hunting (private) - Arts, Entertainment, and
Recreation (private)
In some ways that seems to cover a lot of ground. Follow this link to see the sales growth percentage change for 2008, 2009 and 2009 .
