Bruce Norris is joined again this week by Dr. John Husing. Dr. Husing is a leading authority on the Inland Empire economy, an area he has been studying since he wrote his doctoral thesis on the region in 1964. His influence on the business and political landscape has been so extensive that the LA times named him one of the 100 most powerful people in Southern California in 2006. He is the writer of the Quarterly Economic Report, an economic newsletter now in its 20th year. His company, Economics and Politics, Inc, provides consulting services for municipalities and counties with economic strategies, statistical data packages, recommendations for public policy and presentations to businesses and political leaders about the nature of growth and economic trends in Southern California. His website includes copies of his newsletter, Power Point presentations of various speeches and photographic glimpses of his exotic travel adventures. Bruce and John discuss logistics jobs in the Inland Empire, the industrial part of commercial real estate, Fannie and Freddie's relationship with the banks, the lost labor force, the millennial generation and younger adults in the IE, the primary and secondary tiers in a city's journey, and much, much more on this week's Norris Group real estate radio show and podcast.
