OMAHA — Billionaire Warren Buffett says the U.S. economy is definitely improving with most signs of life coming in manufacturing businesses.
Berkshire Hathaway’s chief executive met with reporters Sunday, a day after his annual shareholder meeting drew about 37,000 people.
Buffett said Berkshire subsidiaries in manufacturing have improved sales and that there has been some increase in luxury-goods sales.
But he said the housing market has yet to improve significantly because of excess inventory. He said several of Berkshire’s roughly 80 subsidiaries have started hiring workers, though slowly.
