The American economy has significantly outperformed other rich countries, according to a special report by The Economist. The International Monetary Fund notes that among the G20 group, the United States is the only country whose output and employment are above pre-pandemic expectations. Since 1990, labor productivity per hour in the US has increased by 73%, outpacing Japan's 55% increase and the Euro Area's 39% gain. On a per-person basis, American economic output is now about 40% higher than in Western Europe and Canada, and 60% higher than in Japan. This outperformance is attributed to higher investment and business dynamism. Additionally, Wall Street's dominance has propelled the American stock market to a 61% share of global market capitalization. The US economy's growth, FCI, and capital flows have also been notable compared to its G7 peers.
