With record low unemployment and positive business indicators, we'll look at how Vermonters are doing in today's economic environment.

Economic indicators paint a pretty rosy picture for the country and for Vermont. Take record low unemployment for instance. So how does that translate for the average Vermonter to buy a home or pay rent? To pay for food and clothing? Or send kids to school or child care? We'll hear how Vermonters are faring while the economy appears to be robust.
Joining us to share their perspectives are Art Woolf, retired UVM economist, and Paul Cillo, president and executive director of the Public Assets Institute.

Broadcast live on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
