ICYMI: New GDP Data Shows That the US Continues to Lead Advanced Economies in Economic Recovery

February 22, 2022

OECD data released yesterday shows that the US economy has readily outpaced every other economy in the G7 in recovering from the pandemic. Last year, the US became the first G7 economy to return to pre-pandemic levels of GDP. Now, the OECD finds that the US economy has grown over 3% since Q4 2019, even after adjusting for inflation.
