By all accounts 2013 has been a roller coaster year for the US economy. There have been very encouraging signs of late but there was also a government shutdown, fits and starts on Wall Street and mixed news out of Europe. The Affordable Care Act is also being implemented to mixed reviews around the country and the battle over minimum wage has been renewed. A budget deal worked its way through congress and the latest unemployment figures look good. So just how well did we do in 2013 and does the year ahead bode well? We'll ask those questions and more of regular guest, economist John Connaughton.
