Indeed, the boom in business investment is an under-appreciated feature of this recovery. We’ve seen more than $400 billion more business investment than if it followed historical patterns. More here: home.treasury.gov/news/featured-…

Compelling piece from Jared Bernstein Archived on the right way to think about separating signal and noise in the monthly labor market data. Anyone who thinks the storm- and strike-driven October datapoint accurately represents an economy with 4.1% unemployment isn’t paying attention.

.President Donald J. Trump cites Treasury Department work on private investments in clean energy crowded in by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Our new Treasury Department analysis puts the U.S. recovery in context. How it differed vs. history, vs. our peers, and vs. expectations. Despite many headwinds and remaining challenges, American consumers and businesses outperformed on all three fronts. home.treasury.gov/news/featured-…
