Economist Predicts Maryland’s Continued Recovery In Economic Outlook

With a projected increase in holiday shopping and a recovering housing market, Maryland’s economic outlook has multiple positive highlights, according to Regional Economic Studies Institute Executive Director Dr. Daraius Irani.

Irani presented RESI’s findings during the 2013 Economic Outlook Conference, the organization’s premier event, held at Towson University last week.

Maryland reached a milestone in August, regaining 100 percent of the jobs lost during the recession—one of only 16 states to do so. Over the last year, statewide employment expanded 1.7 percent, the largest year-over-year growth rate since the start of the economic downturn five years ago. The professional and business services industry added 16,300 jobs to the economy over the last year, making it the state’s largest employment contributor, according to RESI.

Continued recovery? When did it start? Maryland is probably better off than it was in 1621 but that's debatable, too.

Any message that blames the shut down as the reason for a sluggish economy has received his marching orders from the state. If the MD economy is on the rise, why do we have higher and new taxes. He is more than just an economist, he just tells lies.

An "Economist". HA! What degree is that? It's never been seen in any college curriculum I know of! And even if he was somehow edumicated in economics, he would be able to see the dismal fall we have been in for the last 5 freaking years!

What an ignorant Bozo! I have dogs with better sense!
