§1022b — Title 15 Commerce and Trade | U.S. Code

Summary

The Economic Report must include analysis to help set short- and medium-term goals for jobs, production, real income, and prices. It must explain how each goal should be shaped and how total national output should be divided among private investment, consumer spending, and government spending, taking into account income flows and other factors, to promote balanced growth, a balanced Federal budget, fewer business swings, and the aims of the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978. When choosing how to cut unemployment and keep prices reasonably stable, use methods that help both goals at the same time whenever practical.

(a)To aid in determining the short-term and medium-term goals for employment, production, real income, and prices, analysis shall be presented in the Economic Report with respect to major aspects of the appropriate composition or structure of each goal, and as to the appropriate apportionment of total national production among its major components (private investment, consumer expenditures, and public outlays) as affected by relative income flows and other factors, in order to promote balanced growth and a balanced Federal budget, reduce cyclical disturbances, and achieve the other purposes of this chapter and the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978 [15 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.].

(b)In choosing means to achieve the goal for the reduction of unemployment and choosing means to achieve the goal of reasonable price stability, those means which are mutually reinforcing shall be used to the extent practicable.
