This private-sector recovery is helping government finances. The US budget deficit has been on a downward trend for now, helped by both higher revenues and lower pressure on spending (for example, payments to the unemployed have fallen as joblessness has declined).
私人部门的复苏有助于政府财政。目前美国预算赤字已进入下降趋势，这既是岁入提高的结果，也是拜支出压力减小所赐（比如，失业救济额随失业人数的减少而减少）。
