Improvement? Yes - But What Degree?S




So ARC has pushed out its Oct figures and they confirm that there are some better news along the way.

Rather than try and figure out who is telling the truth here - I went to the source. I am presenting here ARC's figures for October.

As I noted before the precipitous drop in bookings last year in September and October could only mean that this year would not be quite so bad. Indeed the Y/Y comparisons 2009 vs 2008 might look good. However - when compared with 2007 it doesn't look so hot.

So I present here 3 separate charts from the same source:

Total US bookings for the month
YTD cumulative figures
$ Value of all transactions.

The numbers I believe speak for themselves.

Cheers
