In the last few months of 2011, almost every major indicator of economic health in the U.S. showed improvement. However, the U.S. is still struggling with high unemployment, a global financial crisis fed by European sovereign debt, relatively slow growth and the overhang of millions of home foreclosures. The mood among the American people is still very somber with some feeling that the U.S. is still in desperate economic times. But are we?
Brian Pretti will address this question, provide his outlook for an economic recovery, and share his insights into just what it will take to get our economy humming again.
