Staying Ahead of Economic, Demographic and Consumer Change
Linda’s dynamic presentations guide her audiences through the maze of changing economic, financial, labor market and demographic shifts now hitting North America. Her presentations are always-tailor made for her audience, designed to educate each group about the key trends that will affect their specific outlook.
Published in fall 2007 in the US and Canada, Linda’s book The Leisure Economy details what will be a sea change for the North American economy. For the past three decades, we have been steadily creating an extreme ‘time-crunch economy’ that has affected jobs, portfolios, businesses and lives. But the ‘time-crunch economy’ is turning into ‘the leisure economy’ and it will mean wrenching adjustments for our lives and institutions. Everyone from consumers, investors, businesses, and policy-makers will need to understand the changes afoot.
As well as being an economist and author, Linda is also an experienced television journalist who since 1999 has been the in-house economist for Business News Network (BNN), Canada’s only all-business television network. Prior to that, she was a senior economist with CIBC and a demographic and labor market economist with the federal government. She is a frequent speaker to business groups, translating economic forecasts into information that can be used for their planning purposes.
