For nearly 25 years, the Quarterly Business Report (QBR) has given local business leaders information on what their fellow leaders think and feel about the local economy. Its long publication record lets readers know how businesses reacted in previous recessions and how they might in the next one with special questions delving deeper into topics of interest to businesses, households and governments.
Professors of Economics King Banaian and Mana Komai-Molle co-author the QBR.
The next QBR Review is from 8-9 a.m. Thursday, June 20 at the Waite Park City Hall.
