The North Carolina economy is expected to continue the slow growth pattern of recent years of about 2 percent, says UNC Charlotte professor and economist John Connaughton says. But is the 2 percent growth benefiting everyone across the state of North Carolina?
We invite you to join us to on December 5 as Dr. Connaughton explores this question, while providing an update on the state of the North Carolina economy. Dr. Connaughton will also highlight key aspects of the U.S. economy, including the expected tax plan and what the plan could mean for North Carolina residents.
Connaughton's presentation begins at noon in the Auditorium of Center City on the second floor. Lunch will be available beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Connaughton, Barings professor of financial economics in the Belk College of Business, is a highly-regarded expert on regional economics and has closely monitored the North Carolina economy for more than 30 years. His quarterly report, sponsored by Barings, addresses areas of optimism and concern among the state's economic sectors, considers national and global factors affecting the state economy and forecasts future performance and job growth.
The Forecast presentation is free and open to the public, but seating is limited and advanced reservations are required.
