The St. Louis area is aided in this respect by its diversification in sectors such as bioscience, information technology, financial services, transportation/distribution and high-tech manufacturing.

NAI Chief Economist: A Disastrous Decade
Dec 7th
Remember just
10 years ago when we were worried about the Y2K bug, when a stamp cost $0.33 and when our budget had a surplus of $200+ billion? In his new whitepaper, NAI chief economist Dr. Peter Linneman discusses the factors that enabled a decade that began with a roaring start to come to a punishing conclusion. The following is an excerpt:
What a difference a decade makes. It was just 10 years ago that:
- panic was rampant about the Y2K bug;
- the Nasdaq closed at 5,048.62, its highest point before the dot-com bust;
- AOL bought Time Warner for $162 billion;
- Vladimir Putin took charge of Russia;
- Bill Gates stepped down as Microsoft’s CEO;
- Elian Gonzalez (who?) was on the front page of every newspaper;
- Vermont approved gay unions; and
- the Bush vs. Gore election was too close to call.
