The Good News Is Bad News Award
"Some
analysts said that the country’s now close to full employment, the point
at which the available labor pool dries up. That’s not the same as
saying that everyone who wants a job has a job. But business
correspondent Ray Brady reports the high employment rate is causing
problems."
-- CBS Evening News Anchor Charles Kuralt, March 10.
Runner-Up:
"The
danger is that as the economy picks up, it could become too much of a
good thing. Borrowing and buying by consumers could become excessive.
Prices and interest rates could take off. The problem would again become
how to avoid a hard landing."
-- Irving R. Levine on NBC Nightly News, same night.
