July 2019 Columbia Market Update
The general U.S. economic expansion continued into the start of its 11th year in July 2019. The average rate of growth in this expansion has not been as robust as the 1990’s expansion, at 2.3 per year versus 3.6 previously. During this 10 year expansion, the unemployment rate has dropped from 10% in 2009 to 3.7 in 2019. The economy is expected to continue to function well for the rest of 2019, but a mild recession is becoming more of a threat.
