The 2023 AP Macroeconomics scores: 5: 16%; 4: 23%; 3: 25%; 2: 22%; 1: 14%. This year’s research into college econ performance found that AP Macro students were significantly outperforming college peers, hence the big jump in 3s/4s/5s this year. Great work.

By far the most challenging unit for AP Micro students was Factor Markets (Unit 5); the average score on these MC questions was 50% correct.

AP Microeconomics students generally performed well on questions about Supply and Demand (Unit 2), where ~18% of students answered most or all such questions right, and of course on Unit 1, where 37% of students correctly answered all or all but one.

The 2023 AP Microeconomics scores: 5: 18%; 4: 26%; 3: 22%; 2: 21%; 1: 13%.

Lower labor force participation...roughly 4.3 million fewer workers than 2 years ago, is causing a massive change in labor markets. Some economists think this will persist for another year or 2 and others think it's a permanent change. wsj.com/articles/labor…
