During the 1970's, the economy in the United States became stagnant. At the beginning of the decade, the U.S. was still recovering from the Vietnam War, the inflation rate was high, and unemployment was also at an all-time high. Add this to a worldwide energy shortage, the U.S. economy was a mess for most of that decade.
