(Bismarck, ND) -- A new report shows signs of growth in North Dakota's economy.

The latest quarterly assessment from North Dakota State University shows increasing wages and salaries, a low unemployment rate, and a growing labor force. The report also indicates that the outlook for economic production and tax collections is strong.

The positive state outlook contrasts with the negative outlook for the national economy.
