The Columbus Chamber’s Annual Blue Chip Economic Forecast drew a packed house at the Columbus Metropolitan Club last week. According to the forecast, employment in the Columbus region will continue moderate growth during 2011 as the economy recovers from the 2007-09 recession. A net increase of 0.3 percent, or 2,500 net new jobs, is expected.
