Economy

The health of our nation’s economy influences all aspects of public policy. The Joint Economic Committee (JEC) maintains a close watch on economic developments and advises Congress on their importance. Through research reports, hearings, and discussions, the JEC informs lawmakers and the general public about the state of the economy and about sound economic policies.
