Positive fiscal signs amid a slow-growth economy
The U.S. economy has slowed since the 1990s, but in the final month of President Obama’s term, 156,000 jobs were added and unemployment held at 4.7 percent. As President Donald Trump took office last week, the Dow Jones closed above 20,000 points for the first time. Wall Street Journal Reporter Nick Timiraos joins Hari Sreenivasan from Washington, D.C., to break down the state of the economy.
