Nebraska’s economic growth is predicted to improve markedly in the second half of the year, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Bureau of Business Research reported today.

The rapid increase last month is a positive sign for the state’s economy, said economist Eric Thompson, the bureau’s director.
