The Shutdown Edition: October Economic Briefing

The Shutdown Edition: October Economic Briefing


CHAPEL HILL, NC (October 2, 2025) – Join Kenan Institute Research Fellow Greg Brown at 9 AM EDT Friday, October 3, for the institute’s monthly briefing. 

At what he calls “a moment of real uncertainty” for the US economy, Brown will discuss the potential short- and long-term effects of the government shutdown, which has put a halt to Bureau of Labor Statistics updates for now. He’ll also look at the economy’s health in the context of other indicators, which present an unclear picture of what we may see next, and take your questions. 

You are invited to join via Zoom and are welcome to submit any questions you would like to be addressed to External Affairs Assistant Director Rob Knapp

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
