Raw data: The US economy over the past six months

Here are all of the standard economic indicators that affect people in their daily lives. They look pretty solid!

Growth rates are all annualized.

NOTE: Will everything stay this sunny? I'm a recession hawk myself, so I doubt it. We'll know in about six months.

    Yeah, Dr. Paul Krugman had a whole article about that: how nearly all economic indicators are looking up, but people are convinced the US is in a recessionary death spiral.

    Just the Republicans working the refs (that is, the "news" media) again, to prepare for 2024.

    YOY though prices are way up, hence the gloom people feel in their daily lives. No raise for me yet my heating and electric bills are 30-40% up over last year despite the warm weather. Food is up a lot.

      Where do you live? Electric, oil or gas heat?
      Mine not up nearly that much. Gas up, Electric down quite a bit. Live in NY

        NE. Oil heat. Just yesterday my business got a quote for some equipment we also purchased last year. This year's price is 35% higher. We're also having to raise wages in order to hire anybody, but management gets nothing.

        Well apparently I am wrong. Turns out LIPA changed their billing to balanced billing. So I will no doubt get banged out when I move back to normal billing. Sorry for the misinformation
