U.S. Chamber of Commerce Launches New Economic Growth Agenda for 2024 Election and Beyond

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is making a bold statement ahead of the 2024 election, emphasizing the importance of economic growth as the top priority for politicians. The influential business group is urging elected officials to focus on policies that could potentially boost U.S. economic growth back to the levels seen in the second half of the 20th century.

In a recent announcement, Chamber President and CEO Suzanne Clark highlighted the challenges facing the U.S. economy, including the demographic shifts that are impacting growth potential. With Baby Boomers retiring and women’s labor force participation already at record highs, the traditional drivers of economic growth are no longer as strong as they once were.

Clark emphasized the need for innovative solutions to jump-start economic growth, including leveraging technologies like artificial intelligence and implementing pro-growth tax policies. The Chamber is also advocating for a balanced approach to immigration reform, tightening border security while streamlining the process for authorized immigrants to work in the U.S.

As the 2024 election approaches, the Chamber will be releasing a series of memos outlining key issues central to their economic growth agenda. While they have not endorsed a specific candidate, they are calling on politicians from both parties to prioritize policies that will support sustained economic growth for the future.
