During the Carter years (1977-1981), the U.S. economy faced significant challenges, including high inflation, rising unemployment, and energy crises. Inflation soared, peaking at over 13%, largely due to oil price shocks and increased production costs. Additionally, the country experienced stagflation, a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation, which led to widespread economic uncertainty and discontent. Carter's administration implemented various policies to combat these issues, but the economic struggles persisted throughout his presidency.
