Six reasons why the future is bright

During his economic outlook, Economist Charlie Hall said the industry's future might not be as uncertain as it seems.


It’s an election year, and there’s a lot of uncertainty in today’s marketplace. While the economy is slowly plodding along, we don’t know exactly where we’re going to be a year from now, we don’t know when the next recession will hit, we don’t know how new technologies will continue to effect the job market.

“Because of uncertainty, there are many firms in the Green Industry today that are kind of content with the status quo. They may be holding back on investment,” said economist Charlie Hall, a professor with the Department of Horticultural Sciences at Texas A&M University, during his mid-year economic outlook. “You’ve got a situation where folks are very reluctant to pull that trigger on making strategic investments in their business.”
