Firms located in the West region reported the worst business conditions, although all regions have continued to experience declining billings. The Northeast region has the score closest to 50, but it has weakened every month since reporting minimal growth in April.

The bright spot for the month is at firms with a commercial/industrial specialization, that reported an increase in billings for the second month in a row in June. While still minimal, it is the first time any sector has reported two consecutive months of growth in nearly two years.

This may give landscape professionals an idea of which sectors to pursue later this year. On the other hand, conditions continue to weaken further for firms with a residential specialization, following some signs of improvement earlier this year. ?EUR??,,????'??? Courtesy of AIA
