This year, US households again faced economic challenges with changes in the country's administration, stubbornly high inflation, tariff policies, and a slowdown in the labor market that raised alarms in the last quarter of 2025.

Some economists and analysts have given their opinions on this topic, mentioning that this year has been yet another in which the resilience of the Economy.

For some, like Oxford Economics' chief US economist, Michael Pearce, "the economy has grown at a fairly steady pace." Although many indicate that 2025 was undoubtedly a year of great uncertainty.

Volatility has marked the course of the year. According to Pearce, "it's rare for a president to come to power with a unified Congress and have such immediate impacts on the economy. Not all of these measures have an immediate impact on the economy, but we have seen that many of these policies generate a lot of uncertainty," he said.

Despite the fact that Trump's policies were not well received at first, White House spokesman Kush Desai emphasized that the administration still has much work to do. “The U.S. economy is much better now than it was a year ago under Joe Biden: lower inflation, job growth in the private sector, cheaper basic goods like gasoline, lower taxes, and trillions of dollars in investment flowing in to create and hire in the United States,” he commented. However, not everyone seems to agree. The slowdown in the labor market has undoubtedly caused persistent uncertainty, leading more companies to be cautious with their hiring, and this is mainly due to the overall outlook for the economy. In this regard, Greg Daco, chief economist at the consulting firm EY-Parthenon, commented that “any kind of uncertainty will lead to slower business decisions, whether regarding hiring or investment. A slower labor market leads to slower income growth, which ultimately ends up reducing consumer spending,” he said.
