For the record, the economic indicators used to gauge economic performance include unemployment, the federal deficit, the stock market, inflation, employment growth, productivity growth, gross private investment, personal savings, interest rates, population below the poverty line, exports as a share of GDP, trade balance, federal budget growth rate and share of GDP, and tax revenue share of GDP.
