Rachael Mitchell

Rachael Mitchell is an economic writer based in Toronto who covers how policy decisions move through markets and households. She began her reporting career at a regional business desk in Ontario, where she focused on consumer finance, municipal budgeting, and the cost of living. Over the years, she joined national coverage, sharpening her ability to translate complex economic data—interest rates, inflation gauges, and labour statistics—into clear, evidence-based stories for a general audience. Rachael has written long-form explainers on productivity, housing affordability, and business investment, and she regularly contributes to market-impacting investigations involving energy, trade, and supply-chain shifts. Her work emphasizes transparency, data literacy, and careful sourcing, and she is known for bringing context to breaking developments while maintaining strict standards for accuracy. In addition to daily reporting, she mentors younger writers on economic methods and editorial research practices.
