And its economic problems drag the world into crisis. But after the chaos of the financial crisis, the US economy is growing. Its consumer spending is up. And its private sector profits have grown to near pre-crisis levels. Yet a key measure of economic success, unemployment rate, has remained stubbornly high, which is spreading fear.
