ABOUT THE TOPIC: The performance of the national economy and the regional economy impacts everyone to some degree – whether it is job opportunities, career advancement, investments, retirement situation, or simple costs of living. The economy has experienced significant changes – some in line with business cycles and others due to structural shifts – over the past dozen years. From the Dot-Com bubble and burst to the housing market bubble and burst, the nation and Washington region have had something of a bumpy economic ride. The presentation will explain where the national and local economies have been, where they are now, and what is the outlook for the years ahead.
