The economic outlook for 2024 was the focus of the January 25 CMMA meeting in Rogers, MN.
 
King Banaian, interim Dean of the College of Education and Learning Design, St. Cloud State University, reviewed how so many economists got 2023 wrong in their predictions of a recession and what that means for manufacturing in Minnesota in 2024.
