Janet Harrah is a Senior Director, Center for Economic Analysis and Development at NKU. She’s also a Fort Thomas resident.

Harrah is studying whether or not food stamps can provide adequately for a family and she, her husband and two children are living by that budget for a year.

This is an advertisement. 

She’s 6 months into the experiment. We asked her:

– Why do this?

– What does she eat in a typical day?

– Is the best deal always in line with the most unhealthy?

– How much time does she spend preparing her food now?

– What’s been her biggest challenge?

– What does her family think?

We also talk other NKY economic issues:

– Regionalism – is it good for NKY?

– How is NKY doing? Campbell County doing against its regional competitors?

– How do we get NKU students to spend money in Fort Thomas?

– What does the 2020 jobs outlook look like?
