John Husing, the Chief Economist for the Inland Empire Economic Partnership, and KVCR's Ken Vincent talk about why unemployment, construction, and home prices are improving faster in the IE than in the C0astal communities. The discussion is a preview to Dr. Husing's annual Inland Empire Economic Forecast, which will be delivered to a big crowd at the State of the Region Luncheon on Thursday, March 19 at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario. Information about attending the conference is at www.ieep.com.
Ken Vincent has retired. We appreciate the way he shared his expertise with many of our young interns and reporters over the nearly eight years he spent as KVCR's lead journalist and Morning Edition host. We wish him a happy and relaxing retirement as he spends more time in his garden and, as he mentioned, more time on the golf course. Thanks Ken!
