This Week's State Of The Economy - What Is Ahead? - 10 September 2020

A Faster, but Still Far From Complete, Recovery

Although the recovery from the COVID recession is still far from over, the U.S. economy is bouncing back faster than many expected. The third quarter’s rebound now looks to be even stronger than estimated last month, with GDP increasing at a roughly 25% annualized pace. 

Growth remains set to slow beyond the current quarter, but momentum is holding up fairly well and suggests that businesses and consumers are adapting to the COVID environment. Personal consumption remains on course for further gains over the remaining months of the year. Households entered into August with saving still high, and the job market continues to heal. While still less than half of the jobs lost since February have been recovered, the ongoing improvement seems to have reduced the urgency among lawmakers to provide more stimulus at this time.
