Alex Carrick
Alex Carrick did his undergraduate work at the University of Western Ontario (London, Ontario, Canada), and completed an M.A. in Economics at the University of Toronto. After the first year of a Doctorate while living at U of T's Massey College, the lure of the job market was too great and in 1972 Carrick went to work for the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC). The CISC is a trade association for structural steel fabricators in Canada. Carrick later became Secretary-Treasurer as well as Economist for the CISC.
Since 1985, Carrick has been Chief Economist with CanaData, the leading supplier of statistics and forecasting information for the Canadian construction industry. He is the closing speaker at the CanaData Annual Construction Industry Forecasts Conference, which is heading into its 25th year.
Carrick compiles CanaData's Annual Construction Forecast and provides updates throughout the year in the CanaData Forecaster monthly newsletter and online at www.reedconstructiondata.com/market-insights. He provides additional economic insights at www.dailycommercialnews.com/features/economy. Follow his blog at www.reedconstructiondata.com/alex-carrick.
His work has become international in scope and he delivers presentations throughout North America on the Canadian, United States and world construction markets. He is frequently quoted in major news media, especially in two Canadian construction newspapers, Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce. His weekly online video analyses are a popular feature on the newspapers' websites.
Carrick also has a personal blog site where he posts original funny short stories or two-minute reads, as he likes to call them. Nearly 80 of these have been compiled in his first book entitled "Two Scoops" Is Just Right, now available on Amazon.com. In connection with his "hobby", Carrick has built up a considerable presence on the social networking sites, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
