Deep dives

Americans' Perception of the Economy

According to recent polls, a majority of Americans rate the economy as fair or poor, despite positive economic indicators such as low unemployment, solid GDP growth, and a rising stock market. This perception may be influenced by factors such as memories of high inflation, the belief that the economy is rigged for the wealthy, and a desire for a more moderate approach to economic policies. Additionally, personal experiences, like forgoing major purchases due to higher interest rates, may contribute to this perception.
