MUN Professor Upbeat About Economy
May 27, 2009

Memorial University economics professor, Wade Locke, predicts a noticeable improvement in our economy by the end of the year. He told the St. John's Board of Trade yesterday while we are suffering some short-term issues, all indications show our province should be okay. Locke says revenue may be down this year, but things are starting to move in the right direction. Locke says employment could be an issue for a while yet. He points out our seasonal work patterns, such as construction work and the fishery.

There you have it. MUN economist optomistic. In related news: Sun to rise in east, set in west.
