You've probably heard economics referred to as "the dismal science." It's also widely said that you can make the numbers say whatever you want. Still, in policy, in elections, in everyday life, what the numbers say has consequences. Whether it's GDP or employment rates or inflation, economists weigh in, policymakers act and the rest of us wonder what's what. To help us understand what stats really mean, we welcome Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson Fellow On The Future Of Workers;
Trevin Stratton, national leader and partner, Economic Advisory, Deloitte Canada; Benjamin Tal, managing director and deputy chief economist, CIBC; and Kaylie Tiessen, economist, Unifor.
