Whoever is elected the 47th president of the United States will start with a rare and clear advantage: a remarkably solid economy.
Tuesday’s election will show how much that all matters to voters, who will soon decide which candidate they want to entrust the economy to from here.
But to regular American households, it’s more of a “Yes, but” economy: Yes, the job market is strong, but my boss wants me in five days a week, and that doesn’t work for me anymore.
Yes, inflation has fallen, but I can’t afford day care.
Prices across the rest of the service economy were 4.7% higher overall, and medical care was up 3.9%.
