"The U.S. trailed only Switzerland and Singapore in the annual survey by the World Economic Forum....The Great Recession and 2008 financial crisis took a toll on U.S. global competitiveness, according to the survey. By 2012-13, the country had fallen to seventh amid a sluggish economy as well as bitter partisan debates over the debt limit and other fiscal issues. But a strengthening economic recovery and less budget strife in Washington has helped the U.S. to improve its ranking among the 148 economies covered by the survey." Jim Puzzanghera in the Los Angeles Times.
