    The U.S. economy is at a crossroads, with some analysts saying a failure by Congress to pass another stimulus package, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, would tip the nation back into recession. Lawmakers remain deadlocked over a measure to provide another round of $1,200 checks to most households and more aid to struggling small businesses and unemployed Americans. (Source: AZCentral) 
    Get Familiar with Arizona’s PDA 
    Under Arizona’s Purchaser Dwelling Act, a purchaser of a residence is barred from filing a construction defect lawsuit until the purchaser gives the seller – including residential contractors – reasonable notice of the alleged defects and an opportunity to cure them. Given the PDA’s sweeping application to most residential construction and remodeling projects, residential contractors should familiarize themselves with its current requirements.

    Restaurants See Signs for Hope 
    After opening for outdoor dining following months of lockdowns and economic hardship, US restaurants are recovering, but at a glacial pace. A new report by S&P Global Market Intelligence revealed that the recovery of sales and employment slowed in August. However, there are bright spots within these numbers. The decline wasn’t as precipitous as dips in the prior months. Sales fell a revised 19.4 percent year-over-year in July and 22.1 percent in June. (Source: GlobeSt.com)
