U.S. Market Update
2023: Year in Review
In the whimsical rollercoaster that was the U.S. economy of 2023, we witnessed a performance worthy of a standing ovation. Picture this: the government's infrastructure investment plan, a real MVP, swooping in like a superhero to fix roads and bridges, creating more jobs than a clown at a birthday party. Unemployment rates? They dropped lower than a cat chasing a laser pointer, hitting a historic low of 3.5%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's safe to say that the job market was hotter than a summer barbecue despite what many prognosticators thought would happen coming into the year.
