Columbus Economist Predicts Continued Job Growth For 2013

An economic forecast released today predicts Central Ohio will continue to lead the state in job growth in the coming year. That's one of the economic high points cited by Columbus Economist Bill Lafayette in his 2013 Columbus Regionomics Forecast. Lafayette says while several sectors of the economy are holding their own, an increase in the number of people considered below the poverty line could take its toll on the overall Central Ohio economy.
