Most of the slow growth

in 1Q is attributed to the cold and snowy winter most of the country had in Jan, Feb, March.

The April ADP payroll figures show a 200k+ increase. That is a very good sign.

I would not be surprised to later see the 1Q GDP numbers adjusted upwards when they come out with the final numbers.

That being said we still need a bill that has a large, long term infrastructure spending (60-70 billion would be a good start), which would create jobs, boost the economy.

We have crumbling roadways, bridges, tunnels that are in desperate need of repair and upgrading.
