Economic Growth with Falling Jobs
Reports indicate that the U.S. economy is experiencing an unprecedented pattern, with companies achieving strong growth in revenues and profits, while the labor market remains weak. Despite the slowdown in GDP growth to 1.5% in the second quarter, U.S. equities have risen by 13% since the beginning of the year, and corporate profits increased by approximately 32% in the second quarter compared to the previous period, with revenues growing by 8% after inflation adjustments. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate continues to rise slightly above 4%, and both job growth and average wages have slowed to their lowest levels. The economy is relying on artificial intelligence to deliver high productivity gains that will enable economic expansion and profits without significantly increasing employment.
