Economists Panel

Whether we call it a recession or not, many Americans are certainly financially stressed due to sky high inflation. For this episode, we gathered a panel of economists to talk through what's happening and what's coming down the pipeline. They weigh in on whether companies in cities like Charlotte will ever get employees back into the office. Also, why aren't school districts addressing the serious learning loss our children suffered during the pandemic? Our panel says money is not the issue. Panelists: Nicholas J. Hill, PhD, (Dean) Professor of Economics, School of Business, Claflin University Laura Ulrich, PhD, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Joseph C. Von Nessen, Ph.D., Research Economist, Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina John Connaughton, Ph.D., Professor of Financial Economics, Belk College of Business, UNC Charlotte
