+4.0%: Expansion resumed following a return to growth in May 1954. Employment and GDP growth slowed relative to the previous two expansions. April 1958– April 1960 24 +3.6% +5.6%: A brief, two-year period of expansion occurred between 1958 and 1960, followed by another monetary recession in 1960. Feb 1961– Dec 1969 106 +3.3% +4.9%
In dollar terms, federal spending was actually higher in 2009 than in 2014, despite a historical trend of a roughly 5% annual increase. This reduced real GDP growth by approximately 0.5% per quarter on average between Q3 2010 and Q2 2014. [89] Both households and government practicing austerity at the same time was a recipe for a slow recovery. [2]
The average duration of the 11 recessions between 1945 and 2001 is 10 months, compared to 18 months for recessions between 1919 and 1945, and 22 months for recessions from 1854 to 1919. [6] Because of the great changes in the economy over the centuries, it is difficult to compare the severity of modern recessions to early recessions. [7]
For example, tax revenues declined from $2.5 trillion in 2008 to $2.1 trillion in 2009, and remained at that level in 2010. From 2008 to 2009, individual income taxes declined 20%, while corporate taxes declined 50%. At 14.6% of GDP, the 2009 and 2010 collections were the lowest level of the past 50 years. [18]
An average American with a median income of $32,000 [11] ($39,000 for those employed full-time between the ages of 25 and 64) [12] when used as a reference group would justify the personal income in the tenth percentile of $77,500 being described as affluent, [11] but if this earner were compared to an executive of a Fortune 500 company, then ...
E.g. with an advance report of a $400 billion increase of a $10 trillion GDP, for example, one could be 95% confident that the range in which the exact GDP dollar amount lies would be 0.0 to 3.3% different than 4.0% (400 ÷ 10,000) or within the range of $0 to $330 billion different than the hypothetical $400 billion (a range of $70–730 billion).
In 2015, the job growth rate was 0.8%, among the lowest rates in America with only "10,900 total nonfarm jobs" added that year. [112] As of April 2016, the state's unemployment rate was 4.2%. [113] The State of Kansas had a $350 million budget shortfall in February 2017. [114] In February 2017, S&P downgraded Kansas's credit rating to AA−. [115]
0.01 [71] 1 [70] CuSO 4: Plant sensitivity to copper is highly variable. 0.1 ppm can be toxic to some plants [71] while a concentration up to 0.5 ppm for many plants is often considered ideal. [70] Manganese: Essential micronutrient: Mn 2+ 0.5 [70] [71] 1 [70] MnSO 4 and MnCl 2: Uptake is enhanced by high PO 3− 4 concentrations. [71] Boron ...
