As we conclude our 4 part economic series, this last installment looks at where the economy is and where it may be going as we come out of a pandemic type situation. Dr. Vollrath, UH Economic Professor, looks at the employment, and people's willingness to leave the market and start their own business.Click to see this episode and "SUBSCRIBE" on YouTubeClick to listen to Part 1: Debt Ceiling & DefaultClick to listen to Part 2: Debt Ceiling & DefaultClick to listen to Part 3: Debt Ceiling & Default#economics #bitcoin #jobs #minimumwage #inflation #economicgrowth #economy #debtceiling #default#politics #politicalscience #jobs #housing

Continuing the conversation with Dr. Dietrich Vollrath, we turn to  the restaurant industry and minimum wage jobs. Why are they seeing a slower bounce back to pre-pandemic employment levels? Perhaps, "Have these workers moved to bitcoin and stock trading or some other means to make money?" In addition, we discuss the two sides of bitcoin—the asset side and the currency side. Though bitcoin continues to rise in value, in the end, the blockchain may be the real lasting tech.Click to see this episode and "SUBSCRIBE" on YouTubeClick to listen to Part 1: Debt Ceiling & DefaultClick to listen to Part 2: Debt Ceiling & Default#economics #bitcoin #jobs #minimumwage #inflation #economicgrowth #economy #debtceiling #default#politics #politicalscience

Should you care? As you know the US Congress recently raised the debt ceiling a modest amount to avoid default, and in doing so will decide this coming December what to do when we invariably bump up against the ceiling, again — risking default and potential financial crisis.So we thought it would be good to break down some of the financial items at play leading up to their decision and other economic subjects that we hear so much about, like the debt ceiling, inflation, and bitcoin. Who better to help us understand than friend of the show University of Houston Department Chair and Professor Department of Economics Dr. Deitrich Vollrath. Hopefully, you will be better informed beyond a news headline, and be armed with more context to speak around these contentious and nuanced subjects.We welcome you being a part of the conversation, so please leave comments to share your thoughts. Thanks for tuning into The Show, and let’s start part 1 in the series, “Debt Ceiling and Default—Should We Be Worried?”See the interview and "SUBSCRIBE" on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmid9oDZPUXOT7jxtR-9-ug#economics #economicgrowth #economy #debtceiling #default #politics
