Economic Indicators: An Update for the 7 Rivers Region

Tariffs – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Tariffs are often used to raise the price of imported goods so that domestic producers will not need to reduce prices to compete.  The idea is that people will then buy more domestically produced products, boosting the market and creating jobs. But does it work?  Recent increases in tariffs on steel and aluminum have caused product costs to rise and foreign countries to retaliate with tariffs on U.S. products.  Learn more about the use and impact of tariffs at the Fall Economic Indicators event when Professor TJ Brooks shares his insights on this complicated topic. A panel of business owners also will provide insight on the impact tariffs have on day to day business activity and the economy.

The cost is $25 and pre-registration is required. The registration deadline is Monday, October 22. Seating is limited.  Register at https://economicindicatorsfall2018.eventbrite.com.
