   Dr. John Shellnut, senior economist and director of research with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Institute for Economic Advancement, said the state's 2005 economic prospects were a mixed bag.
   
   "The state economy continues to move in the right direction in terms of jobs, income and state revenue," Shellnut said. "But, the pace of recovery is modest and energy price increases have shaved off growth expectations in the short-run forecast."
   
   One area of the economy that should receive a boost is the manufacturing sector. Shellnut said there are noteworthy gains in areas like transport equipment, auto parts and steel.
   
   Issues on the horizon for Arkansas' business stability include rising health care costs to both employers and employees.
   
   Escalating fuel prices remain a source of worry for many consumers, Shellnut said, and could affect whether they spend as much on holiday purchases this year.
   
   In terms of sheer job growth, Shellnut said analysts project nonfarm employment statewide to rise by 17,000 jobs next year.
