Under President Jimmy Carter, the U.S. economy faced significant challenges, including high inflation and rising unemployment, often referred to as "stagflation." Economic policies aimed at controlling inflation, such as tight monetary policy, led to increased borrowing costs and reduced consumer spending. As industries struggled to adapt to these economic conditions, unemployment rose, peaking at around 10.8% in late 1982, reflecting the difficulties of transitioning from a manufacturing-based economy to one increasingly influenced by global competition and shifts in energy markets.
