While economists have not declared a nationwide recession, new research from Moody's Analytics reveals many states are experiencing or are on the brink of a recession. Georgia, 21 other states and the District of Columbia are all being flagged. “Closer Look” host Rose Scott talked with Moody's Analytics senior director, Adam Kamins. He talked more about the current state of Georgia’s economy, the uncertainty of the government shutdown, as well as why he believes Georgia and the Atlanta economies are well-positioned long-term.
Plus, we revisited Rose’s conversation with Chris Clark, the president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. During the discussion, Clark talked more about how economic uncertainty, instability in the job market, and severe immigration policies—plus the high cost of tariffs on consumers, small businesses and the agricultural industry have altered Georgia’s economic landscape.
