We look at two economic forces that directly impact each other: international trade and the stock market. What do trade announcements from Washington mean for New Hampshire, and how does a fluctuating stock market impact our economy? We'll also look at a big employer for Granite Staters: foreign companies.
GUESTS:
- Jeff Feingold - Editor of the New Hampshire Business Review.
- Brian Gottlob - Principal of PolEcon Research, an economic research firm based in New Hampshire.
- Russ Thibeault - President of Applied Economic Research, an economic and real estate consulting firm in Laconia.
