Economic Outlook: Signs to watch for in 2010

That’s the title of our next SABEW teletraining session, 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern time, Monday, Dec. 14. Join Greg Ip, U.S. economics editor for The Economist; Mike Mandel, former chief economics writer for BusinessWeek; and Rich Miller, economy reporter for Bloomberg News, as they discuss these topics:

The recession has supposedly ended but unemployment is in double digits, housing is stagnant and consumers are grumpy.  Is this really a recovery? Join SABEW for a discussion of:

• Important indicators to monitor in early 2010
• How to find good stories in economic data
• Whether big spending in Washington is helping or hurting
• What’s going to happen when the Federal Reserve finally raises interest rates
• Why a tiny country in the Mideast can cause world financial markets to tremble
• How to bring the global economic story home to your readers and viewers

He contributes to The Economist’s blog, Free Exchange, and is a frequent commentator on radio and television. He joined The Economist in July, 2008.
