Pick a question, send an answer

Below are some of the questions I'm thinking about on the economy as well as some from our colleagues at Marketplace business radio. Pick a question. Every answer makes a little smarter about the economy.

What's the economy like around you?

Share a quick story about the Minnesota economy. How are you faring? Are you seeing signs of recovery? Click here and tell us.

Many of the responses end up right here on MinnEcon or in one of the maps you often see embedded in the posts.

Had an awkward conversation about money?

It's a question from our Marketplace friends. Talking about money can be as problematic during the holidays as discussing religion or politics. It can cause a lot of friction with family and friends over the holidays.

Share a story about those kinds of conversations and how to navigate them.

Ask the experts

Our public media colleagues across the country are asking people to send in questions about the economy, economic policy or finance. Answers to selected questions will be posted to PBS Engage December 10 and 17. 

Post your questions at PBS Engage (scroll down to the comment section) or on Twitter (use the tag #economystory).
