Joint Economic Committee

The Joint Economic Committee (JEC) is a U.S. congressional committee that brings together Senators and House Representatives to analyze and report on economic issues. Established in 1946, its primary role is to study the economy and provide insights and recommendations on economic policies. The JEC evaluates trends, examines legislative proposals, and publishes reports to help inform lawmakers and the public about economic conditions and challenges. By fostering bipartisan cooperation, the JEC aims to enhance understanding of economic matters to support sound public policy decisions.
