AUDIO: An Economic Forecast by Diane Swonk
The Real Estate and Building Trades Division and the Young Real Estate
Group (YREG) of the Jewish United Fund hosted an evening of networking
with guest speaker Diane Swonk, senior managing director and chief
economist at Mesirow Financial Jan. 20 at the James Hotel. As the Obama
administration comes into office, Swonk gave the group an economic
forecast for the year ahead. “The best we can do is throw pillows under
the plane when it crashes, but we will come back,” she said. “We are a
nation of survivors. It is in our DNA. We are survivors, and we will
survive this as well.”
