Printing Industry Profits Up from Previous Year

Built on data from WhatTheyThink’s Economics and Research Center, the U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 1995 through the second quarter of 2007, the Printing Shipments and Profits Report shows that Industry profits for the quarter were $1.73 billion. This is the first time it broke that level, on an inflation-adjusted basis, since the third quarter of 2000, when it was nearly $3.5 billion.
