This episode is a special one â content from a recent CSIA members-only presentation â a Virtual Keynote Address by Alex Chaukosky, who is director of analytics and consulting for the Bundy Group.
But that title really does not give you the full picture because he is also a super whiz when it comes to taking economic and labor data and making it understandable, non-partisan, fact based â and more importantly, actionable.
The catch is that this is only a portion of his full presentation and only audio â CSIA members can access the full presentiaotn, including video and slides, at www.controlsys.org/virtual-keynotes.
But, it still includes plenty of interesting insights that will help you make good personal and business decisions.
