RENO, Nev. — Economist Christopher Thornberg, Ph.D., is scheduled to present his insight and opinion about Northern Nevada’s economic growth during First Independent Bank’s Fall Economic Forum on Sept. 20.

• Job Growth: What can keep Northern Nevada’s momentum going?
• Needed in Northern Nevada: More jobs or more workers, or both?
• Housing Supply: How can this affect my business?
• Recession: Are we headed there? How is the current economy different from 2007?
• Population: Who is moving to Nevada and is this good news for employers?
• Real Estate: Is the current market sustainable or is it the sign of another “bubble?
The forum is scheduled from 7-9:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at The Grove, at 95 Foothill Road in South Reno.
According to First Independent Bank, a limited number of free tickets are available by emailing a ticket request to marketing@firstindependentnv.com.
