Talk to the Editor: Is the economy OK now?

Monitor business writers Ron Scherer and Laurent Belsie look at consumer spending, job creation, and the year-old bull market in our 1pm (EST) webcast on Thursday.

Join us Thursday at 1 pm (EST) for a conversation with Laurent Belsie and Ron Scherer, who cover the business and economic waterfront for the Monitor. Laurent and Ron will look at whether the economy has turned the corner, the prospects for financial reform, and whether smart money says the markets can continue to improve. Wondering about real estate, your 401(k), or prospects for a new job (or any job)?
