Jessica Morrison

Jessica Morrison is an economic writer based in Toronto who covers Canada’s fiscal policy, labour markets, and trade dynamics with a focus on how macroeconomic decisions land in everyday life. She began her journalism career in local business reporting before moving to national beats at The Globe and Mail’s digital newsroom, where she helped launch daily explainers on interest rates and household finance. Over the past decade, Jessica has written long-form projects on productivity, housing affordability, and supply-chain disruptions, earning a reputation for translating complex data into clear, evidence-driven reporting. Her work frequently draws on interviews with economists, public officials, and industry leaders, complemented by careful analysis of Statistics Canada releases and federal budget documents. She now leads coverage of recession risk, inflation trends, and competitiveness, mentoring junior reporters on sourcing, data verification, and ethical economic storytelling.
