The Washtenaw Economic Club released its annual forecast Thursday and is expecting steady gains for the next three years.
Michael McWilliamsis an economic expert from the University of Michigan and was one of this year’s speakers.
“We see job gains outpacing the state. The county reaching full employment recovery in the second quarter of next year. We have unemployment continuing to decline and going under 3 percent back towards just a bit above where it was before the pandemic.”
McWilliams says inflation will remain a concern in the near-term, especially as gas prices remain high, but he’s optimistic the Federal Reservewill be able to rein it in without undermining the economic recovery.
