2013 Breakfast with the Economists
A Mid-Year Economic Update
Arizona’s economy accelerated in 2012 with improvement in the growth of jobs, population, and recovery in housing markets and homebuilding. Unemployment also receded. However, the pace of improvement remains subdued by historical standards and economic activity remains well below 2007 peak levels. What’s holding back the recovery — and what are the risks going forward? Why might the economy surprise to the upside?
Locally, progress has been disappointing. Why is southern Arizona seemingly lagging so far behind? How do we measure up? Are we gaining ground — or falling further behind? What role does southern Arizona play in the “Sun Corridor?”
Join us for breakfast with Eller economists George W. Hammond, and Marshall J. Vest as they answer these questions and offer insights on what to expect for Arizona and our local economies for the remainder of 2013.
