Bob, or Titan's PR machine, may want to better prepare his statements.
To Bob Odom's claims that this study was not peer-reviewed: Dr. Galbraith used the same model that Titan did back in 2008, called IMPLAN, for two out of three employment scenarios he evaluated.

Titan used same model and UNCW prof?
