GDP

Economic growth in the current April-June period is expected to be faster still.

Infrastructure adds to gross domestic product, but interest rates can take away from it.

Financial stimulus policies are driving economic growth, but not all economies are recovering at the same speed.

In theory, the ingredients of economic growth are capital and investment. In practice, not so much.

Last year saw the worst decline for U.S. GDP in 74 years.

The growth is good, but it’ll be a while before the U.S. economy is back to where it was before COVID-19 happened.

Yet the recovery from the deepest recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s remains far from complete.

The number is going to be “annualized.”

The employer-provided health insurance losses projected to come could cost the U.S. economy another 1.5 million to 2.5 million jobs.

It’s by far the worst quarterly plunge ever.
