From an article on the release of the Federal Reserve meeting minutes.

"The Feds cautious, yet generally positive, economic statement follows a slew of improving data,Â*including strong retail sales, solid ISM manufacturing gains and better-than-expected labor force participation. The unemployment rate has hovered around 5% for the past year€”a level many economists consider to be near full employment. Meanwhile output growth has gained momentum. Real GDP is estimated to have increased 2.9% in the third quarter.

Inflation, which has run below the Feds 2% target for years,"

Despite what people imagine and pretend to see, the US economy is doing pretty well. Not great, but good.
