The current stimulus measures are insufficient in combating rising unemployment and fostering economic growth. While the intention is to stabilize the economy, real impact hinges on innovative solutions such as tax credits for businesses that shorten hours instead of resorting to layoffs. Understanding economic basics—specifically supply and demand dynamics—reveals that increased demand leads to GDP growth. With unemployment at 9.1%, a comprehensive strategy is imperative to reduce it and uplift the economy, as inadequate stimulus may leave us in a precarious situation.

Facts: • To understand how our economy works you first have to understand the basics. If demand is high and supply stays the same then equilibrium price and quantity will increases. So then if supply increases and demand stays the same then equilibrium price and quantity will fall. Supply and demand have many different aspects that influence them. So if demand is up and people are consuming then GDP(gross domestic product) increases.
