TEMPE, Ariz., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Although unemployment rates remain at record low, Federal Reserve anti-inflation policies are expected to bring slower growth in the second half of this year, according to Arizona State University economists.

Will a dip in the national business cycle affect the Arizona boom in manufacturing job growth? How does declining housing affordability impact the inflow of new residents and businesses to the Phoenix area? If a recession is on the horizon, is it expected to be mild or severe?

Join us for lunch, where top experts will answer these questions about the state and nation at the Annual Economic Outlook, presented by the Economic Club of Phoenix.

Featured speakers
