 Many Americans are recovering from the economic destruction that started in March 2020 due to shutdowns by state and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I highlight data on economic growth and employment and provide pro-growth policy recommendations to help quickly recover.

The Texas economy has continued to recover since the steep downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdowns by state and local governments in March.
