The CRER has released its latest forecast of quarterly job growth in the Chattanooga MSA through 2025. Major changes at the national level since the previous forecast include a general election and two rounds of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Although forecasters are slightly more optimistic about US GDP in 2025, they are more pessimistic about industrial production. Consequently, the CRER has adjusted its forecast for 2025 downward, although the new forecast is still for a very strong year.
