The following characteristics were true of economic conditions in the United States during the 1990s:
- Strong growth
- Full employment
- Very low inflation
In this period, the U.S. economy experienced robust expansion, a decline in unemployment rates, and relatively low inflation, particularly in the latter half of the decade. "Decreased productivity" and "low aggregate demand" do not apply, as productivity was generally on the rise and aggregate demand was relatively strong during this time.
