Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #49497 Economic Growth
Instructions
Currently,  spending  on  consumer  services  (think  hotels,  passenger  transportation  and  hair  salons,  for  example)  is  growing  rapidly  and  keeping  the  economy  above  .  But  this  strong  growth  cant    forever.  As  the  fear  of  the  pandemic  subsides  and  households  return  to  pre-pandemic  spending  patterns,  the  pace  of  recovery  in  consumer  services  will  slow,  and  by  2023,  job  growth  in  this  sector  will  no  longer  be  unusually  high.  In  its  fight  to    inflation  and  slow  the  economy,  the  Federal  Reserve  will  continue  to  rapidly  raise  interest  rates,  which  makes  stock  prices  tend  to  decline,  reducing  households  net  worth  and  spending.  This  has  created  an  economy  where  significant  job  growth  and  low  inflation  cannot  coexist.  It  is  either  one  or  the  other,  because  significant  expansion  of  employment  in  a  super-tight  labor  market  will    wages,  and  therefore  prices.  In  such  an  environment,  we  should  expect  slow  economic  and  job  growth  for  the  rest  of  the  decade.
