KARK’s Matt Mosler sat down with Dr. Michael Pakko to take the “economic pulse” of the Arkansas marketplace. Dr. Pakko is the right person to ask.

Visit his blog to read his explanation of these terms and see a comparison of gas prices in neighboring states.

Here’s the clip of his appearance on KARK Today:
