Update on North Carolina's Economy The business world is abuzz with news from a variety of fronts lately. Close to home budgets are passing, but housing is still idle and job growth is stagnant. Nationwide, the stock market is on a roller coaster ride thanks to a massive loss by JP Morgan then a historic IPO offering from Facebook. Farther abroad, the euro zone is in crisis mode and Greece may be the first domino of many to fall. What does all of this mean for us? Economist John Connaughton has some ideas and he'll share them with his quarterly North Carolina economic forecast. Guests John Connaughton - Babson Capital Professor of Financial Economics, UNC Charlotte Tony Plath - Associate Professor of Finance, Belk College of Business at UNC Charlotte Add and read comments
