The App Economy Is Thriving
"App enabled activity now adds more than 1 trillion dollars to the U.S. economy each year and supports about 2.6 million U.S. jobs. While only about 25 percent of Americans feel positive about the broader economy, around 90 percent of app leaders express confidence in the app economy."
"Top tech companies Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft have a combined market value of over 14 trillion dollars. If they were a country, they would have the third largest economy in the world, behind only the United States and China."
"Platform scale also creates real challenges related to competition, data privacy, and artificial intelligence. Lawmakers are eager to respond, and it is important to do so with precision."
