Change State Economic Update – December 2023
Change State Friends,
Our team wishes you a happy and bright holiday season. Whatever you celebrate, we hope you have much joy this month as you gather with family and friends.
Change State Economic Update – November 2023
It’s (finally?) fall, y’all. The weather has been bouncing around here in Denver – from 80 degrees, to snow, and back again twice in the last two weeks. Hopefully, the weather where you are from has settled into a more predictable pattern, and you’re enjoying the cozy feeling of fall, whatever that means to you.
Change State Economic Update – October 2023
First things first – I wish a spooktacular October to all those who celebrate. Did you know that the origin of the “trick or treat” tradition may have emerged from an older Germanic Christmas custom where children would disguise themselves and shout “belsnickel!” to attempt to procure …

Happy September! Are you and your family as gratefully back to school as we are? As much as I lament the premature end to summer, a predictable schedule (child care!) and cooler temps are most welcome.

Change State Economic Update – May 2023
A Happy Friday to you, here from (unusually) rainy Denver. As ever, we have much to discuss today with a persistently robust jobs report alongside shockwaves running through the financial sector and a brewing federal debt ceiling crisis (!). Never a dull moment, covering the US economy these days.
Change State Economic Update – April 2023
Spring has sprung! And if you celebrated either Easter, Passover, or Ramadan in the last week (a rare overlap that only occurs once every 33 years or so), then we hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday with friends and loved ones.
Change State Economic Update – March 2023
What a time to be covering jobs and the economy! Before you ask, no, we’ll not be talking (much) about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank today. It’s somewhat beyond the scope of what we usually cover in this forum, and I’m sure it’s already dominating your newsfeed in one form or another.
Change State Economic Update – February 2023
Happy Year of the Rabbit! Covering the economy these past few months has felt quite a bit like chasing Alice down the rabbit hole, or staring doubtfully into a crystal ball. The latest jobs report has had people (myself included) asking: what on earth is going on?
