Join us for a look ahead from the viewpoint of Laura Ullrich, PhD, in her new role as Director, Economic Research at Indeed. The presentation will provide an overview of the current economic landscape with a particular focus on the labor market. It will include key trends such as job and wage growth, unemployment rates, and the recent trajectory of labor force increases. It will also cover broader economic conditions, including inflation trends, consumer behavior, and the regional economic outlook. The goal is to provide a clear picture of where the economy stands today, highlight emerging challenges like labor shortages and productivity shifts, and offer insight into what these developments might mean going forward.   Bio Laura Ullrich is the director of economic research at Indeed, leading the North American team of economists at The Hiring Lab. Prior to Indeed, Laura was a regional economist and senior manager at the Charlotte branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. In the latter role, she oversaw the team that produces the Richmond Fed Survey of Community College Outcomes. Previously, Ullrich was associate dean for undergraduate programs and a professor of economics at Winthrop University. She earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Georgia and a master's and doctorate in economics from the University of Tennessee. Prior to graduate school, Ullrich worked as a business consultant for Ernst & Young, specializing in executive compensation determination. In 2014, she served as a Fulbright Scholar teaching economics in Kosovo and has spent considerable time working on local economic development issues in Bolivia. Ullrich's research interests include higher education, community college policy, labor force participation, and the economic impact of local development.    The Revelry 11:00 a.m. - Networking 11:30 a.m. - Luncheon Meeting $55 Members/$80 Guests We will be doing a school supplies drive...
