The Beige Book - Federal Reserve
Link: http://federalreserve.gov/fomc/beigebook/2010/20100609/FullReport.htm
From the Summary: "Economic activity continued to improve since the last report across all twelve Federal Reserve Districts, although many Districts described the pace of growth as "modest." Consumer spending and tourism activity generally increased. Business spending also rose, on net, with employment and capital spending edging up but inventory investment slowing. By sector, nonfinancial services, manufacturing, and transportation continued to gradually improve."
