Bleak Economic Outlook Under Biden Administration Despite Positive Job Growth

Disposable income decreases and inflation remains high, contributing to negative public sentiment towards the economy.

  • Disposable income has decreased by 2.7% under the Biden administration, a stark contrast to the average growth of 4.5% since JFK's presidency.
  • Despite positive trends in other economic metrics, such as job growth and a drop in unemployment, the majority of Americans view the current economic conditions as poor.
  • Inflation has decreased from its peak of 9.1% in 2022, but still remains above the Federal Reserve's target rate of 2%, with high prices persisting for rent, groceries, and transportation.
  • Total prices have increased by 17.2% since Biden took office in January 2021, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
  • Real wages have also declined by 2.1% during the same period, contributing to the bleak economic outlook.
