Research the current economic indicators for the United States: unemployment rate, GDP growth rate, inflation rate. Other economic indicators of interest can be included as well. These can be found on various sites including Financial Times, Trading Economics, etc.:

• What is your assessment of the current state of the economy?
  • Include any data you feel is helpful, but make sure to include the indicators above. Be careful to distinguish from normative and positive economic statements, and when making normative statements include your rationale for doing so.
• Address the following in your post:
  • What are recent trends in these measures?
  • How do they compare with 1 year ago? 10 years ago?
  • What policy actions would you suggest to improve the economic condition

Thank you
