From an economic standpoint for those who call Idaho home, Washington Trust Bank Chief Economist, Steve Scranton, stressed the importance of understanding that “reality and social media” are two very different worlds.
The reality is the Treasure Valley, as well as the Idaho economy have been performing far better than the national economy. I tell people to ignore the noise of politics. Focus on your business and what you are doing. Believe what you are seeing personally and don’t get sucked into the world of social media that is telling you the world is falling apart.Steve Scranton, Chief Economist
