WHAT: For the fifteenth consecutive month, Rhode Island’s economy continued to improve says noted University of Rhode Island economist Leonard Lardaro. According to Lardaro, Rhode Island’s Current Conditions Index for June remained at a steady value of 67 unchanged from its April and May values and slightly down from its January through March values of 75. He is available for broadcast and print interviews. While not all indicators improved in June, in contrasting CCI values this year with those two years ago Lardaro says the results are striking, suggesting that Rhode Island’s true overall recovery has begun.
