272. Resurgent

Extract from, "California Finds Economic Gloom Starting to Lift" by Adam Nagourney, The New York Times, 11/27/12: 

After nearly five years of brutal economic decline, government retrenchment and a widespread loss of confidence in its future, California is showing the first signs of a rebound. There is evidence of job growth, economic stability, a resurgent housing market and rising spirits in a state that was among the worst hit by the recession.

Resurgent: increasing or reviving after a period of little activity, popularity, or occurrence
