The Jobless Recovery – Economic Causes, Social Effects and Political Responses
7:00 – 8:30PM, March 2, 2010
ELC Gallery Theater
Over 7 million jobs have been lost nationwide over the last two years, a period dubbed the “Great Recession.” Even as economic activity begins to recover, job creation is lagging behind, raising the concern that the United States will experience a jobless recovery. Individuals and communities are understandably anxious about job prospects and face the future with great uncertainty.
What are the economic and social effects of these current hard times? When will job growth finally outpace job loss? What are the prospects for a new federal stimulus program? What can states, communities, and individuals do to cope with the many ill effects of unemployment?
Please join us on March 2nd at 7:00 p.m. in the Gallery Theater where the Bucknell Institute for Public Policy will host a panel discussion featuring Bucknell professors as well as state and local policy leaders. The panelists include Greg Krohn from Economics, Scott Meinke from Political Science, Carl Milofsky from Sociology, Stephen Herzenberg from the Keystone Research Center in Harrisburg, and Melodie Russel from the Campbell Street Family Youth and Community Association in Williamsport.
-The Bucknell Institute for Public Policy seeks to provide enriching educational opportunities to the Bucknell community which draw on the talents and skills of Bucknell faculty who share a deep interest in and commitment to the academic study of public policy.
