The Joint Economic Committee (JEC) is a bipartisan group of members from both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Established in 1946, its primary purpose is to analyze and report on economic issues affecting the nation. The committee conducts research, holds hearings, and provides recommendations to improve economic policy and promote growth. The JEC plays a crucial role in informing Congress about economic trends and challenges. It also works to ensure that economic policies are effective and beneficial for the American public. By collaborating with various economic experts and institutions, the committee aims to enhance understanding of the U.S. economy and its global context.
