Reference no: EM131169573

In Project 1 you addressed the problem of selecting specific metrics or measuring sticks that one might want to review and analyze in order to assess the performance of the U.S. macroeconomy. Your assignment now is to take the next step.

Project 2: Grade the performance of the U.S. economy today. That’s right, I want you to assign the economy a letter grade (A to F) in terms of its overall performance. Explain and justify your assessment. Be thorough but concise, and support your assessment with data and analysis—not religion or politics.

Please note that you must assign an overall performance grade for the economy. Whether you assign grades to any or all specific performance areas or aspects that you might consider is optional, but there must be an overall grade that is clearly identified as such. [Side note: You are not restricted to using metrics you selected and/or discussed in Project 1. That was a learning exercise. This is an opportunity to demonstrate that you learned.]

Should be approximately 1000 words.
