Press Herald quotes Breece in article on Maine’s economy

The Portland Press Herald quoted James Breece, an associate professor of economics at the University of Maine, in the article “Maine’s economic fallout from coronavirus could be nation’s worst.” Some models suggest Maine is especially vulnerable to dire economic consequences from the coronavirus pandemic, the article states. “Bottom line, I think that Maine’s economy is a little more dependent on social interaction than the rest of the country,” said Breece.
