Will our sluggish economic recovery finally speed up in 2015? Top experts will deliver their forecasts for the state, nation, stock market and housing market at the Valley’s largest and most trusted economic-forecasting event on Dec. 3.
The 51st Annual Economic Forecast Luncheon is co-sponsored by the Department of Economics at Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business and JPMorgan Chase. About 1,000 people are expected to attend the event at the Phoenix Convention Center.

P. Carey School of Business. “Though we had a few bright spots of job growth, such as those in health care and finance, we also saw losses in the state’s key sectors of manufacturing and construction. Arizona’s overall job creation was only about 2 percent, when our long-term average is closer to 4 percent. If 2015 projections for better growth at the national level hold up, that could finally be the spark Arizona needs to get back on track.”
