Presented by the Center for Business & Economic Analysis (CBEA) at the college’s Donald J.

Marc Schaffer, professor of data analytics and economics and director of the Center for Business & Economic Analysis, will be joined by students of the Schneider School in presenting an in-depth look at factors affecting the economy.

Key topics will include recession indicators, the inflation outlook, GDP performance, current trends in employment and housing and other factors with both short- and long-term implications for the economy.

The event is sponsored by AmeriLux. The Center for Business & Economic Analysis was created to foster partnerships between the college’s faculty and the local business and nonprofit communities.
