CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Oct. 3, 2023) – The government nearly shut down as Congress argued over a relatively small and shrinking share of the government budget – discretionary spending. What’s going on here?
Chief Economist Gerald Cohen will share his thoughts on the real dangers in long-term federal budget trends during the Kenan Institute’s monthly virtual press briefing at 9 a.m. EDT this Friday, Oct. 6. He will also discuss the latest employment data and how the economy is faring as well as take questions from attendees.
Are you working on a story ahead of the employment report? Dr. Cohen is available this week to answer questions; contact Rob Knapp to schedule an interview.
Experts from the institute will appear on the briefing each month and offer commentary in their areas of specialization. Briefings occur on the morning that the employment report is released, usually the first Friday of each month.
You’re invited to join via Zoom (registration details below) and welcome to respond directly to this email to submit any questions you would like to be addressed.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
