Presented by the Center for Business, Economics & Analytics (CBEA) at the college’s Donald J. Schneider School of Business & Economics, the event is designed both for area professionals looking for more economic data ahead of executing their business planning, and for individuals who are generally interested in the state of the country’s economy. Marc Schaffer, professor of data analytics and economics and director of the CBEA, 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 other factors with both short- and long-term implications for the economy. The event is sponsored by AmeriLux.
