(via www.whitehouse.gov) The White House shared these charts from the National Economic Council with this note: “…thought they were worth passing along for a broader perspective on economic progress since President Obama came into office.” Glad that ARRA and other economic recovery efforts fueled this recovery while helping fix some of the infrastructure needs around the country (esp. roads, bridges, etc).

Plus, the economic incentives offered to the automobile industry also had have some positive influence in perking up the economy and that industry apart from saving thousands of manufacturing jobs and a few American icons (particularly GM). Hope this trend line continues to stay above the “zero line” in the days ahead, irrespective of who is at the helm.
