This week on Carolina Newsmakers, Don Curtis talks with economist Dr. Mike Walden about the economic pressures facing families and businesses across the state. From inflation and the rising cost of living to housing affordability, job growth, and North Carolina's economic outlook, they examine what's driving today's financial uncertainty. They also discuss changes to the state's gas tax approved by lawmakers, the impact on drivers, and what North Carolinians can expect from the economy in the months ahead.
