2024 Overall U.S. and Georgia Economic Outlook (AP 130-2-01) Each year, UGA's agricultural economists develop a comprehensive overview to help various sectors of the agriculture industry navigate the year ahead. As Georgia's land-grant university, the University of Georgia conducts cutting-edge research on critical and emerging issues that are important to the agriculture industry. From this research, UGA provides the best information and education available to producers and constituents to equip them with knowledge and decision-making tools for their businesses. Forecast by Jeffrey M. Humphreys, UGA, Director of the Selig Center for Economic Growth. The overall U.S. outlook projections include: 1. The 2024 economic forecast for Georgia calls for an economic slowdown but not a recession. We estimate the probability of recession at 33% for Georgia compared to just under 50% for the United States. 2. Georgia’s lower risk of recession reflects recent economic development success and stronger demographics. 3. The resilient labor market and the strong financial position of households are two reasons why we expect continued economic expansion. 4. Inflation will continue to ease but will not fall to levels experienced before the pandemic. 5. The main downside risks to growth are missteps by the Federal Reserve, a financial crisis, and an energy-price shock. Each of these risks alone could trigger a recession.
Get Smart About Identity Theft
Get Smart About Identity Theft (B 1435) Your personal identity cannot be taken from you, but your identifying information—your Social Security number and other details about you—certainly can be. If your identifying data is used without your permission for another person's dishonest objectives, you become a victim of an identity theft crime. In this digital age, it is more important than ever to protect yourself from identity theft. This publication includes information on how to avoid identity theft, how to request and review your credit report, and what to do if you find suspicious activity on a credit report. Also included is a self diagnosis activity to see if your actions are putting you at risk for identity theft.
