COVID-19 Stuns U.S. and Tenth District Economies, but Both Show Signs of Stabilization

Jason Brown and Alison Felix

Economic Bulletin, 2020, 4

Abstract: COVID-19 and attempts to slow its spread have led to a decline in economic activity unprecedented in both severity and speed. Although every part of the United States experienced dramatic decreases in activity, states in the Tenth Federal Reserve District, with lower COVID-19 cases as a percentage of the population, have fared slightly better. More recently, national and regional measures of business and consumer activity have improved but remain well below pre-pandemic levels.
