NU Online News Service, June 27, 12:45 p.m. – Commercial businesses had an easier time collecting on account receivables in May than they did in April, according to D&B Receivable Management Services Corp., Bethlehem, Pa.
The collection agency, a unit of Dun & Bradstreet Inc., measures the health of the U.S. economy by using a homegrown statistical model to calculate a monthly Recovery Score.
The score rose to 105 in May, up from a low of 90 in March 2001, D&B says.
