With the American Rescue Plan’s two-year anniversary now behind us, this blog post revisits the economic impact of pandemic response policies of the Biden Administration. The economic recovery from the pandemic in the United States has been historic relative to prior episodes with employment recovering to pre-crisis levels much faster than after recent recessions. And while a counterfactual recovery is impossible to observe, data suggests that the actions taken by the Biden Administration meaningfully contributed to the pace of recovery and strength of the labor market. One way to put this rebound in context is relative to recoveries in other advanced economies. Acknowledging that other advanced economies faced different economic shocks—notably, our European partners were more adversely affected by Russia’s war against Ukraine—the evidence shows that the U.S. economic recovery has been quite strong.

Excellence in hotel operations means happier guests, better staff, and more profits for your investors. I learned this through working with tens of thousands of hotels around the world.
My career in hospitality started working the front desk at a small property on the California coast. From there, I built a hotel marketing website which eventually 70,000+ hoteliers used each month to learn how to increase demand for their properties. I wanted to learn about how to turn demand into revenue, so spent a few years at Duetto, a revenue management company co-founded by the former CTO of Salesforce.com. After that, I spent the past few years working with hotel owners and hospitality real estate investors at Juniper Square.
