The Economy In 2015: Predictions, Perils And Promise (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Unemployment down again. Oil prices positively swooning and US drivers smiling at the gas pump. But wait. Are these happy days? The Dow fell 300-plus points on low oil prices yesterday. Wages have barely budged for most people. The US is looking good globally, but if Europe tanks, do we tank too? This hour On Point: the economy in 2015, from housing to jobs to fundamentals to your paycheck. / Tom Ashbrook
