But Robert Johnson at Morningstar Analytics in Chicago says in the months to come the storm could bolster the U.S. economy.
"My guess is it may throw a couple of economic statistics like retail sales for a couple of weeks or whatever, but, on the other hand, I think it's probably it's reverse - it's more like a stimulus program."
Johnson says the damage could have been much worse.
"To give you some perspective, Katrina was more like a 100-billion-dollar impact because the winds were so much stronger. This is a more populated area, but the winds were less - you need to completely wipe out hundreds of thousands of houses like you did in the Katrina situation."
Although the comparison will do little to ease the losses some have suffered, Johnson says in a 15-trillion-dollar a year economy, and a region that generates about $10 billion a day in retail sales, Sandy could eventually boost economic activity in affected areas as cleanup and rebuilding efforts intensify.从短期来看，一些经济学家说飓风会打击就业，使国内生产总值略有下降。但芝加哥晨星公司的罗伯特•约翰逊说，在接下来的几个月飓风会改善美国经济。
“我的猜想是，这可能使我们损失了几周或者更长时间的一些经济数据，比如零售业什么的，但另一方面，我想这可能反过来更像是一个刺激计划。”
约翰逊说损失本可能更惨重。
“给你个参考，卡特里娜飓风更像是1000亿美元的冲击，因为当时的风力比现在强多了。这次是在居民更多的区域，但风力较弱——你需要让成千上万户居民从灾区撤离，正如你在卡特里娜飓风时做的一样。
尽管这种对比不会减轻多少已遭变故的人所承受的损失，约翰逊说在一个年产值15万亿美元的经济体，一个零售业日产值100亿美元的地区，随着清理工作和重建力度的加强，飓风桑迪最终会助推受灾地区的经济活动。
