QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you think about the United States’ economic outlook?
Matthew Sanders
Economic indicators have been making big headlines lately.
Last week came a sorry report with just 22,000 jobs created in August and unemployment at its highest since 2021.
Then came more bad news on Tuesday — fewer jobs were added in the year that ended in March than experts thought, while income gains were eaten away by inflation during the Biden years.
These numbers can be signs of trouble to come — many experts sounded alarms over the anemic August job tally. The numbers look backward, and not forward, and future trends are sometimes difficult to discern.
