GRAPHICS: MEASURING THE NEW ECONOMY (.pdf)

This extensive series of charts shows how the U.S. economy of the 1990s compares to those of the '60s, '70s, and '80s; how technology is affecting economic performance; how globalization is changing the world economy; and how the next decade's economy would look if annual growth were to average 3% instead of 2.3%.

To preserve the exact look of this series of charts as it appears in the magazine, it has been saved in Adobe's Acrobat portable document file (.pdf) format. So it must be downloaded, then viewed with the Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 3.0 or higher is required).
