UNITED STATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The US has the most technologically powerful economy in the world, with
a per capita GDP of $57,300. US firms are at or near the forefront in technological
advances, especially in computers, pharmaceuticals, and medical, aerospace, and
military equipment; however, their advantage has narrowed since the end of
World War II. Based on a comparison of GDP measured at purchasing power parity
conversion rates, the US economy in 2014, having stood as the largest in the
world for more than a century, slipped into second place behind China, which
has more than tripled the US growth rate for each year of the past four
decades.
In the US, private individuals and business firms make most of the
decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services
predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater
flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to
expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products.
At the same time, businesses face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home
markets than foreign firms face entering US markets.
Long-term problems for the US include stagnation of wages for
lower-income families, inadequate investment in deteriorating infrastructure,
rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, energy
shortages, and sizable current account and budget deficits.
The onrush of technology has been a driving factor in the gradual
development of a "two-tier" labor market in which those at the bottom
lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top
and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance
coverage, and other benefits. But the globalization of trade, and especially
the rise of low-wage producers such as China, has put additional downward
pressure on wages and upward pressure on the return to capital. Since 1975,
practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of
households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than
wages or any other category of after-tax income.
Imported oil accounts for nearly 55% of US consumption and oil has a
major impact on the overall health of the economy. Crude oil prices doubled
between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate
into consumers' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage
payments. Oil prices climbed another 50% between 2006 and 2008, and bank
foreclosures more than doubled in the same period. Besides dampening the
housing market, soaring oil prices caused a drop in the value of the dollar and
a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840
billion in 2008. Because the US economy is energy-intensive, falling oil prices
since 2013 have alleviated many of the problems the earlier increases had
created.
The sub-prime mortgage crisis, falling home prices, investment bank
failures, tight credit, and the global economic downturn pushed the US into a
recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making
this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help
stabilize financial markets, the US Congress established a $700 billion
Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in October 2008. The government used some
of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much
of which had been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009,
Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an
additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 years - two-thirds
on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help
the economy recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached
nearly 9% of GDP. In 2012, the Federal Government reduced the growth of
spending and the deficit shrank to 7.6% of GDP. US revenues from taxes and
other sources are lower, as a percentage of GDP, than those of most other
countries.
Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in national resources
from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the growth of the budget
deficit and public debt. Through 2014, the direct costs of the wars totaled
more than $1.5 trillion, according to US Government figures.
In March 2010, President OBAMA signed into law the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, a health insurance reform that was designed to extend
coverage to an additional 32 million Americans by 2016, through private health
insurance for the general population and Medicaid for the impoverished. Total
spending on healthcare - public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to
17.9% in 2010.
In July 2010, the president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial stability by
protecting consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer bailouts of
financial firms, dealing with troubled banks that are "too big to fail,"
and improving accountability and transparency in the financial system - in
particular, by requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded in markets
that are subject to government regulation and oversight.
In December 2012, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) announced plans to
purchase $85 billion per month of mortgage-backed and Treasury securities in an
effort to hold down long-term interest rates, and to keep short-term rates near
zero until unemployment dropped below 6.5% or inflation rose above 2.5%. In late
2013, the Fed announced that it would begin scaling back long-term bond
purchases to $75 billion per month in January 2014 and further reduce them as
conditions warranted; the Fed ended the purchases during the summer of 2014. In
2014, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.2%, and continued to fall to 5.5% by
mid-2015, the lowest rate of joblessness since before the global recession
began; inflation stood at 1.7%, and public debt as a share of GDP continued to
decline, following several years of increases. In December 2015, the Fed raised
its target for the benchmark federal funds rate by 0.25%, the first increase
since the recession began. With US GDP growth below 2%, the Fed opted to raise
rates three times since then, and in mid-June 2017, the range for the target
rate stood at 1% to 1.25%.
