Mark Trumbull, economy editor, has reported for the Monitor from both US coasts while maintaining ties to the Midwest where he grew up. He has helped guide coverage of general US news and environment/energy news, and his economic-oriented writing beats have put him on the road to cover everything from declining Rust Belt factory jobs to the development of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. In 2008 he gained a strong distaste for global financial crises. Now, in addition to trying to avoid those, he and the Monitor's economy team are focused on putting workplace and marketplace trends in human and societal context.
