Economic Outlook

The economy remains in a Great Recession-size hole as of September 2020. The strong economic growth in
recent months is encouraging, as many workers on temporary layoff are recalled. Overall, the current state of

the economy is much better than originally feared in June. However, the economic outlook in the years ahead

improved only modestly. It will take time, even under the best of circumstances, to regain lost ground due to

recessions. So far 2020 is anything but the best.
