Area economy gains even more ground By Uri Berliner STAFF WRITER Boosted by an uptick in building permits and free-spending tourists, the San Diego County economy gained ground for the 13th straight month in April, according to a survey. . The index of leading economic indicators, compiled by the Univer sity of San Diego, climbed 0.4 per cent, providing more evidence of the area's recovery. "We usually look for three con secutive months to detect a trend," ( said Allison Neel, a USD research assistant. "Thirteen positive months in a row looks like pretty smooth sailing." Five of the index's six compo nents - building permits, local stock prices, tourism, help wanted advertising, and the performance of the national economy - moved ahead. The weak link was a jump in initial claims for unemployment in surance. However, jobs appeared plentiful in April, if judged by the volume of help wanted ads. "It was the largest raw number we've seen for one month since October 1990," Neel said. "It looks like the labor market is getting back to pre-recession lev els."
