Conversations Live: The State of the Economy


Originally aired Thursday, February 22, 2024

Though fears of a recession seem to have subsided, people still have concerns about the economy. Food prices are still rising, and other aspects, like childcare, high interest rates, and the housing market are a stuggle for some families.

In a conversation on WPSU, we’ll talk with two experts on the state of the economy and what it means for everyday people. And we want to hear from you. Email us at connect at wpsu dot org to send us your questions on the State of the Economy.
