New numbers show 2021 is off to a great start on the economic front.

The economy rose 6.4% in the first quarter.

That's as more people get vaccinated, the job market improves and that latest round of stimulus payments.

In normal times, the economy grows around 2 to 2.5%.

So this drastic increase means we may be on the road to economic recovery.
