    Bernard M. Markstein, Norcross, Ga.-based Reed Construction Data's chief economist, recently offered a revised prediction, which includes a recession scenario, for the firm's economic forecast. "In our recession scenario, the current (third) quarter is subpar, with growth barely above zero," Markstein writes.
