Economic Outlook 2012, A Joint Event with IE -CSI
Program Description:
We find ourselves in uncertain economic times. Are we in the midst of a recovery, or are we headed for a double dip? What construction sectors will do well and which will struggle? McGraw-Hill Construction is in a unique position to provide a knowledgeable perspective on the economy and the construction industry. Please join Cliff Brewis, McGraw-Hill Construction’s Senior Director of Editorial Operations, as he reviews the construction outlook.
The program will begin by reviewing the larger, national perspective. Cliff will attempt to define the obstacles we currently face that limit growth. He will present McGraw-Hill’s expectation of near term overall economic performance. Since construction operates within the national framework, but many construction sectors are impacted differently, Cliff will review the separate expectations for housing, private commercial construction, public institutional construction and public works in California.
Fundamentally, the presentation is an effort to “make sense of it all,” and to help your prepare your business for the near future. Download a flier for this event here.
