It's going to be very difficult to predict where growth will actually be next year. The number of TFWs who actually leave vs some who either find a legal way to stay, or stay illegally is up in the air. The amount of asylum/refugee claimant resulting from the incoming Trump administration policies is a question mark. How strict our own government will be with regard to deportation is another question mark. And speaking of Trump, whether he follows through on tariff threats could be a big hit to our economy (or not), and of course the global geopolitical situation is a dumpster fire which could lead to plummeting or soaring oil prices.
A lot of variables potentially affecting us all at once, but at least the whole country will likely be in the same boat this time, for better or worse.
