U.S. Economy Set for Slower Growth Based on Decision Analyst’s September Economic Index (opens pdf file)
The Decision Analyst U.S. Economic Index for September 2024 is 107. This is 3 points higher than a year ago (September 2023). The Economic Index has been relatively flat over the past 12 months on average, indicating a slow-growth U.S. economy in coming months (similar to the period of slow growth following the Great Recession). The slower the GDP growth, of course, the greater the risks the U.S. economy could slip into a recession.
