COVID-19 Optimism Index to be published on monthly basis
Dear Reader,
Based on minimal change in economic and COVID data over the last three months, we are shifting the reporting of the Northwood University COVID-19 Optimism Index to once a month until the end of 2022. Early in 2023, we will write a comprehensive report analyzing the economic impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy.
The next report will be produced May 1, 2022. Subsequent reports will be produced on the first Sunday of each new month. For those of you who have followed the Optimism Index from inception, you realize this change reflects a change from a daily to a weekly and now a monthly reporting basis, all positive signs that the pandemic is waning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Timothy G. Nash
McNair Center Director
