New England's Economic Challenges

A new report says the Northeast is lagging behind the rest of the country in economic growth and job creation. Some say the solution is for the six New England states to join forces instead of competing against each other. We'll look at where the regional economy stands today and what a New England economic strategy might bring. John Clayton hosts. His guests are Ross Gittell, professor of management at the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, and Vice President and Forecast Manager for the New England Economic Partnership, and Bob Tannenwald, Vice President and economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and director of the bank's New England Public Policy Center. We'll also hear from Catherine Reilly, Maine State Economist. Other guests TBA.
