Lincicome has previously written about economic forecasts involving major global markets. In one article, he discussed how projections that China would overtake the U.S. economy did not materialize as expected (see article). He also reported on significant layoffs in Dayton, Ohio, noting that job cuts erased a year's employment gains after tariffs failed to increase demand (see article).
