DR. MARCI ROSSELL
THE ECONOMY IN 2015: THE REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
Sponsored by Quest Capital Management
Optimism rarely dominates the discussion around the economy. Yet there are some surprising sources of strength: a dramatic fall in oil prices, improvements in the labor market and the rise of China as our most important trading partner. Join Dr. Marci Rossell McCarthy as she explains why the outlook for the US economy, globalization and employment is better than it has been in years. Attendees will (1) understand the role tight labor markets play in the economy and their effect on wage growth; (2) examine the underlining demographic forces driving income inequality; (3) understand the role cheaper oil prices play in consumer spending habits and geopolitical events; and (4) comprehend the effects on the global economy due to the emergence of the Chinese consumer. Marci Rossell electrifies audiences nationwide, speaking on the nexus of economics, politics, culture and the media. Her animated style was honed when she served as the popular, lively Chief Economist for CNBC in the months immediately following September 11th. She takes complex economic issues, often dull in the button-down business press, and makes them relevant to people's lives, families and careers. Prior to her career in broadcast journalism, Marci served as Corporate Economist and Investment Spokesperson for OppenheimerFunds, one of the nation's largest mutual fund companies. Before moving to Wall Street, she was an expert witness for Deloitte and Touche in court cases involving economic issues. Marci began her career as an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Marci earned a PhD in Economics from Southern Methodist University. She brings a world of experience-from Main Street to Wall Street-when discussing the U.S. economy, international events and movements in capital markets.
