There's so much going on in the economy these days, so much for small businesses to deal with. We're in the throws of another significant variant of the Coronavirus, the supply chain issues continue amid rising inflation, and it that were not enough, employers are having a hard time finding employees because many are either staying home or finding new roles in different industries. It's a lot for small businesses to deal with.

 

So to help put it all into perspective, our good friend Ryan Sweet from Moody's Analytics joins us today to talk about our economic outlook.

 

If you are not familiar, Ryan is a senior director at Moody's Analytics. He contributes regularly to Economic View and is a member of the U.S. macroeconomics team in West Chester Pennsylvania. His areas of specialization include the U.S. economy, monetary policy, capital markets and forecasting high-frequency economic indicators. Ryan provides a great perspective on what's really going on with the economy and possible impact to small businesses. 

 

We celebrated Martin Luther King Day this week, so for our Inclusion-Forward segment, we hear from Experian team members about how Martin Luther King, Jr. inspires and motivates them, and how his message influences their work here at Experian.
