SHORT HILLS, N.J., March 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dun & Bradstreet's latest live webinar on the health and prospects of the U.S. economy will be hosted by the company's senior economist Dr. Bodhi Ganguli on March 29.

During this webinar Ganguli will discuss the possible reasons behind the disconnect between job market strength and labor compensation. While the current job market is robust, overall wage growth has disappointed. He will also highlight the near term trajectory of wage growth which has direct consequences for consumer spending, a key pillar of Dun & Bradstreet's overall outlook for the US economy. The insights Ganguli will share are based on readings from Dun & Bradstreet's Small Business Health Index and Severe Risk Index. Both of these indexes have been reliable leading indicators and will be used to form the basis of the forecast on the broader economy.
