Economists are warning that we haven’t seen the worst of this recession. As you consider your personal finances in these difficult times, we’re turning to a panel of experts to help forecast how businesses, consumers and the government are poised to weather the economy storm. 

David Greising is the chief business correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and Eight Forty-Eight's regular business contributor. Bill Strauss is a senior economist and advisor in the economic research department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. And, Dennis Rodkin is the real estate columnist for Chicago Magazine.
