America’s Growth in the

decade.
I’ll make the optimistic but plausible assumption that the economy will fully recover over the next decade, lowering the unemployment rate from the current 10% to about 5%.
That cyclical recovery of employment will cause GDP to rise by about 13% over the next decade, or an average of 1.2% per year.
That represents a substantial turnaround from the past decade, when the unemployment rate rose from 4% to 10% and the labor-force participation rate fell from 67% to 65%, reducing GDP by about 1.6% per year.
Assuming slower growth in the labor force than in the past decade, no rise in productivity due to capital accumulation, and a decline in multifactor productivity growth to its pre-2000 average implies that annual potential GDP growth will be only 1.4%.
Combining these conservative assumptions about potential GDP with the effect of the cyclical rebound – an estimated 1.2% annual rise in real GDP – would produce real GDP growth at an average annual rate of 2.6%, which would be significantly higher than the 1.9% rate in the
decade
ending in 2009.
