The Election Year Economy – Facts and Issues
Description
This election year the state of the economy will no doubt be an issue. So how is it doing? What are the issues that could be most problematic? In this presentation we take a look at the trends over recent years and then identify what could go wrong or right in 2024. We ask – amongst other things – what is the outlook for jobs, wages, trade, and interest rates this year?
