Economists worry about a “double-dip” recession as the state and federal governments try to create jobs.
We’re live today at the Connecticut Science Center for one of our quarterly Small Business Breakfasts. It’s done in conjunction with ourSmall Business Project, where we look at how entrepreneurs are faring in this economy.
Right now, things aren’t looking great, as unemployment stays high and business owners express skepticism about the plans to create new jobs. President Obama’s got a new one, and Governor Malloy hopes to cook one up next month.
Today, we’ll look at what a prolonged recession might mean - and what trends businesses are seeing that might give us some signals. We’ll look at whether there’s still a credit crunch, and whether lower business costs and less regulation really have the “stimulative” effects that some claim.
