Is the bubble bursting – and does America need to prepare for an economic slowdown?
October 9, 20191 min readWith every news story about trade, tariffs, interest rates, global instability and political chaos…comes with it a hint that each incident could take a toll on America’s economy. And it seems that sub-plot may be slowly becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy for the current administration in Washington.
A recent article in Forbes pointed out that most key indicators seem to be pointing down.
- Trump’s monthly job results are decelerating
- Trump’s job growth falling short of Obama’s last six years
- Wage growth is the lowest in a year
- September quarter GDPNow forecast lower than June’s 2.0% result
It seems as if all of these ingredients combined, a slow down and potential recession or worse could be looming.
