What We Do And Don't Know About Idaho's Economy Now

The coronavirus outbreak could thrust economies around the world into a deep freeze for up to six months. Countries across the globe have effectively shut down. With that said, the markets are shifting and changing as quickly as the pandemic is. 

Jason Norris is the executive vice president of research and portfolio management at Ferguson Wellman and joins Idaho Matters to talk about what our economy will look like going forward. 

 

As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.

 

Idaho Matters is working on a story about how families are dealing with school closures during the coronavirus outbreak. Parents: What do your days look like now? Are you creating structure, or are you letting your kids have an extended spring break? Kids: What do you like about being at home, and what do you miss about school and being with your friends? Using your smartphone, please send us a voice memo with your family. Tell us about your daily routine, or about what your’e doing to stay distracted or learning. Send the voice memo to idahomatters@boisestate.edu. We might use your message in an upcoming show.
