The latest
economic numbers
have shown stagnant growth and in some industries like factories, a decrease in demand.
So why isn't the economy growing? We want to help our viewers get their questions answered.
On Wednesday, connectmidmissouri.com will host a live chat at 12 p.m. with a member of President Barack Obama's economic advisory team.

He holds a Ph.D. in economics and a M.A. in government from Harvard University and a M.Sc. in economics from the London School of Economics.
There are several ways viewers can ask questions. You can log on to connectmidmissouri.com at 12 p.m. Wednesday for the chat. Viewers may also submit questions by emailing them to
