COVID-19 and its variants; sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine; financial markets reacting to the Federal Reserve’s plans to raise interest rates. These and other factors are affecting the outlook for the economy and construction. Join PHCC in a webinar with economist Dr. Bernard Markstein to examine the current state of the economy and construction as well as the near-term and longer-term outlook for the economic and construction activity and the impact on the PHC industry. Will the recovery continue, or will the economy slip into recession? How fast will the Fed raise interest rates and by how much? When will supply chain issues be resolved? What is the outlook for inflation in general and building materials prices in particular? Dr. Markstein will answer these and other questions. His discussion will include the outlook for the following sectors of construction: residential (both single-family and multifamily construction), lodging, office, retail, education, and health care.

Learning objectives:
1.Understanding the major forces affecting the national economy currently and the implications for the PHC industry
2.Understanding the economic outlook and the risks to that outlook and the implications for the PHC industry
3.What the implications of supply chain issues and the outlook for their resolution are for the PHC industry
