All four components of the indicator series, real exports, real GDP, construction spending and S&P 500 showed negative year-over-year growth rates in the second quarter of 2009.

• Real exports growth declined at an annualized rate of 15.7 percent and year-over-year percent change.

• Real GDP showed a decrease of 3.9 percent – lower growth rates compared to the previous quarter.

• The S&P 500 is lower by 28.2 percent from its level in the second quarter of 2008.

• California construction spending which is derived from six-quarter lagged real values of total building permit valuation, showed a year-over-year decline of 23.2 percent in the second quarter of 2009.

The weakness in all four components of the indicator series explains the low reading of the indicator series and that suggests further job losses in this quarter.
