This Saturday is the one year anniversary of President Donald Trump’s election. Over the past year, the stock market has boomed, GDP growth has improved and unemployment is at an almost 17-year low.
However, job gains were lower than any of the past six years and wage growth was less than last year.
President Trump inherited an economy that was on a good trajectory with solid job growth and low unemployment. Trump's own mark on the economy will be based on the long-term impact of his new tax laws.
The biggest economic questions going forward are how much growth will tax reform generate, and what will Trump do with various trade agreements such as NAFTA? These could determine what happens to the U.S. economy and the stock markets over the next few years.
We have developed a publicly available Google document, which tracks over 100 indicators to help evaluate the progress and potential of “Make America Great Again.”
Below are a few of those indicators I think are worth highlighting.
