The Philadelphia Mastermind Group had the opportunity to hear from Jeff Hornstein of the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia about his goals for the League in the upcoming months and years. They also had the opportunity to participate in a robust roundtable discussion about the future of the local and national economy. While some members had been experiencing significant slowdowns in their industry, most reported being very busy with current and future projects and many noted they could take on even more work, were it not for the lack of qualified labor and talent. Guest Paul Flora of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indicated that they have not seen any indicators that suggest a recession on the horizon.
