Slow economic growth doesn't much matter
WASHINGTON - A growing economy 2% a year may be tolerable in normal time. Today, it is a disaster.
A growth rate of 5% or more is needed to put a major in the unemployment rate of 9.6% of the reasons pays.Deux tooth why is unlikely in the next year and maybe beyond:
Construction - residential and commercial - collapsed last year. And it is not expected to regain his strength for years.Normally, after the end of the recession, construction booms and feeds a new economic expansion.The recession that began in December 2007, after the bursting of the bubble, became the great depression, once the financial crisis that broke out in September 2008.Les economic recovery following a financial crisis usually are léthargiques.habituellement, banks take years to regain their loans normally."Really get"Morning in America"and get people feel like really, jobs are returning, I don't want something close to 5 per cent" annual economic growth, says economist Josh Bivens Institute of economic policy, referring to the Reagan's re-election iconic 1984 advertising.
