Economics

Rick Pretzsch, Associate Professor of Economics, presented an enlightening discussion on our current economic status. We learned about the components of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) including personal consumption, import/export, investments and government consumption. Even though the economy has not fully recovered, things are on an upswing. For more info, visit the following websites and review the attached document. We hope to have another review of the economy in the Fall.
