You probably have noticed that the media provides a steady stream of sobering reports on everything from foreclosures, to the housing market and the economy in general. You may be wondering whatever happened to the elusive “silver lining.” We’d like to share a rare resource—good news from an economist!
Economist Jeff Thredgold, CSP publishes a semiannual update called, “Happy Talk” via his weekly online guide called “Tea Leaf by Jeff Thredgold.” This self-proclaimed “economic futurist” takes a broad look at how our country is doing compared to historic and international benchmarks.
It’s good to remind ourselves that despite our challenges, we are still a nation of extraordinary accomplishments—well worthy of reflection. Think of it as a 2- minute encouragement break, and feel free to share!
This edition of “Happy Talk” was originally published October 4, 2011.
