Brookings Mountain West Lecture: Where Are the Jobs?
When: Mar. 6, 2012, 5:30pm - 6:30pmCampus Location: Greenspun Hall
Office/Remote Location: Auditorium
Brookings Mountain West presents “Where Are the Jobs? Employment Stagnation after the Great Recession” a talk with Gary Burtless, senior fellow, Economic Studies & John C. and Nancy D. Whitehead, chair.
The Great Recession of 2008-2009 was the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Unlike most other recessions in the post-war era, however, the recovery has brought back only a small fraction of the almost 9 million jobs lost in the downturn. Gary Burtless will explain the puzzling absence of an employment rebound in his talk. Why has the rebound been so slow? What can we do to speed it up?
Lectures are free and open to the public. No reservation or ticket required.
