This is a type of article that I do not appreciate. One would think that the article was about the FEDs interest rate adjustments. It is, but thrown in are references to just about any economic figures you can think of: unemployment, inflation, growth, orders for durable goods, consumer prices, and on and on.

The lead was informative but by no means attention grabbing.
The writing is clear but, as mentioned above, the organization is lacking. It is more like a string of individual news items all thrown together in one article.
Was the reporting balanced? Well, since this article didn’t have a pro and a con or any other sided that could be balanced, I’d say the question isn’t relevant here.
The story is newsworthy. This information is essential for many businesses who need to know if the FED will be putting upward, downward, or no pressure on interest rates.
