Iowa Could Lead in Economic Recovery

Iowa has regained only about a third - 19,600 - of the 57,300 jobs lost in the recession, data from Iowa Workforce Development show. And a forecast from Moody's Analytics shows that Iowa won't fully replace the remaining 37,700 jobs until the third quarter of 2012. Sunayana Mehra, a Moody's economist, says Iowa's positioned to recover ahead of the nation. Mehra says Iowa's weathered the financial and housing crisis better than many other states, especially those on the east and west coasts.
