OMAHA, N.E.(WNAX)- While talk of a national recession swirls, the economy in the nine state Mid America region continues to grow.

Creighton University professor Ernie Goss says his latest survey shows the positive results.

Goss says jobs are still widely available.

Goss says inflation is still high, but seems to be moderating a bit.

Goss says he expects at least two more interest rate hikes by the end of the year to slow inflation.
