Long-time Boston-area journalist and commentator John Keller laid out the economic challenges faced by the next governor of Massachusetts, with the help of MassBenchmarks.
Cue the all-stars on the editorial board of Mass Benchmarks, the UMass Donahue Institute/Federal Reserve Bank of Boston bible of regional economic analysis.
At their most recent board meeting they ingested the current data and served up a smorgasbord of troubling questions about our future. For every bit of welcome good news there were disturbing caveats.
The MassBenchmarks project has been the economic journal of Massachusetts for 30 years. The board is made up of economic experts from the Boston Federal Reserve Bank and higher education. The board regularly publishes assessments of the Massachusetts economy through reports, commentary, and analysis.
