« Merry Everything! | Main | Cintas » December 26, 2006 Corporate Profits and the EconomySince September 2001, the U.S. economy has grown by about 31%, but corporate profits are up by 132%.
Corporate profits now represent over 12.4% of the national economy, which is the highest level in over 50 years. The average is usually around 9.5%.
Think of this as an economy-wide profit margin. Profits typically grow faster than the economy during a recovery, and fall faster than the economy during a recession. Posted by edelfenbein at December 26, 2006 9:40 AM |
