The rate of unemployment (happily) remains fixed at 3.5 per cent, although to two decimal places, it fell from 3.55% to 3.47%.

This means the other drivers of economic growth are being asked to do "a lot of heavy lifting," he explained.

Post WWII, members of our legislatures valued an educated citizenry. Our recent legislators, not so much.

According to William Frey, a professional demographer at Brookings, the 2020s will be the slowest-growing decade in the history of the US. This coming decade's population scale-back could beat the previous record which was set in the 1930s, following the Great Depression. Between 2020 and 2030, the growth rate for the US can be expected to reach less than over that 10-year-period, said Frey.
