We're pleased with the overall state results, because the trends are all in an upward direction.

Wendy Roberts

It's inaccurate to say we all benefit. In aggregate, the economy probably benefits but within that upward trajectory a lot of people are permanently hurt while many others gain.

Justin Fox

This is exciting news. Our focus on improving student achievement is paying off. Our goal is to move students consistently upward in performance, and that is precisely what we are achieving.

Superintendent Manuel Rivera

The Fed is doing what it has to do, talking a tough line. It still remains to be seen when the upward pressure on wages will trickle up to inflation. Right now, the average American consumer has been untouched, unscathed by the events in Asia.

Kathleen Camilli

Historically, capacity utilization over the 81 level could bring some production bottlenecks into play throughout the economy which could put upward pressure on prices.

Aaron Simpson

These (energy) price increases will put upward pressure on the cost of the producers of other items, thereby posing the risk of some impetus to core inflation.

Mark Olson

We're in for another year of slow movement [in the stock market]. It increasingly will have an upward bias, but it won't go through the roof.

David Blitzer

Going forward, we would expect to see satisfaction trend back upward now that the holiday rush is over.

Larry Freed

The report shows that sales, profits and capital spending are all strong. There's a high possibility we may see a slight upward revision of second-quarter GDP figures.

Yoshiki Shinke

These numbers are weak. Even if you factor in the upward revision to the April data, this points to a slowing in consumer spending in the second quarter.

Calvin Schnure

This will put upward pressure on both month-on-month and year-on-year inflation this month.

Elna Moolman

Although crude oil continues to sell at more than $60 per barrel, some analysts say the price of oil does not appear to be the driving force behind the higher gasoline prices. Instead, they say, reduced refinery output is pushing prices upward. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, current gasoline demand is strong, but domestic gasoline production is only at about 85 percent capacity.

Elliott Eki

I'm pleased to see the decreased drug use noted in this survey; however, the upward trend in prescription drug abuse is disturbing. We need to ensure that young people understand the very real risks of abusing any drug.

Elias Zerhouni

The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.

Elizabeth Ii

We had expected an upward revision in the second-quarter G.D.P. estimate on the basis of other recently released data, ... but trade kind of goes in the opposite direction.

Edward Mckelvey

The market is becoming very volatile. It will move upward or downward with any other news -- including weather news.

Ed Morse

It was a very good meet and we looked good in all our events. It's just upward and onward from here.

Ed Eyestone

The fact is that sports is not this big melting pot of upward mobility and opportunity and meritocracy. That's a false dictum. It never has been.
