The economic pain caused by the pandemic will likely linger through the first half of 2021, but an economist at the University of San Diego is predicting a big recovery like what we saw following the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.
“In the same way that I think in the early part of the 1920s the roaring 20s started with the fatigue of World War I and the 1918 pandemic, people started splurging a little bit and there’s all that penned up demand of the things we used to do,” said Ryan Ratcliff, Ph.D., an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of San Diego.

The Port of San Diego is at a critical crossroads in its efforts to attract new maritime investment. San Diegans who support job creation should pay attention. At issue is a proposed 15-year lease with Mitsubishi Cement Company at the Port’s Tenth Avenue Terminal to build warehouses to receive and distribute up to 600,000 tons of bulk cement per year.
Established in 1962 by the state Legislature, the Port controls the San Diego Bay and owns and manages the bay’s immediate waterfront. The Port operates two maritime terminals (Tenth Avenue and National City) and two cruise ship terminals. Its tenants around the entire bay generate an estimated 45,000 jobs.
