the latest gdp report indicating 3.3% growth in the fourth quarter of last year. joining us now to discuss is jared bernstein, the chair of the u.s. council of economic advisers. jared, good morning to you. it's great to have you. so, given these latest headlines, do you think we've officially avoided a recession? >> well, we certainly have -- as those numbers you just took us through clearly show. look, if i come into the oval office and brief the president on a strong gdp report, he's happy to hear about that, but what he wants to know is is this reaching working families, families like the one he grew up in. easing prices, and we have lower prices in milk and eggs and toys, appliances, airfares and car rentals. are they helping families to take advantage of this faster growth? and one way we're seeing that is in rising paychecks, okay. wages have been beating prices now for about ten months in a

row. that's not a blip. it's a trend. we've got more work to do, but these developments are helping working americans and they're even starting to show up in improved confidence indices, something we haven't seen. we saw a nice surge there in the last couple of months. so good developments, but more work to do, whit. >> whit: when you talk about working families, one of the things in part driving this growth is consumer spending. but recently credit card debt in the u.s. hit a record high with balances topping a trillion dollars last year. does that still leave our economy in a vulnerable position, people spending more than they actually have? >> well, it's something we're watching but the important point there, people's incomes are beating inflation. we talked about on the wage side, the same is true if you look at household incomes and one reason for that is job growth, okay. 2.7 million jobs last year, that's a strong job growth year for '23.

over 14 million jobs since this president got here. if you combine the jobs with inflation adjusted pay, people are servicing their debt. they're able to spend what they need to to keep their debt burdens pretty low. the numbers you're citing, we're watching them. they're actually climbing off the mat from the pandemic when they were extremely low and kind of normalizing back to where they were prepandemic. so, we don't see that as something that will throw us off track, but we're certainly going to keep watching it. >> whit: one thing that is an issue for a lot of people is housing. a new harvard university report shows housing is unaffordable for half of all renters in the u.s. what is the administration doing to address that? >> super important question. now, this is an area where we really need congress to work with us. this president, since he got here, has been committed to significantly increasing the supply of affordable housing. that supply has been dwindling

over ten years, whit. this is a problem that greeted us when we got here. and we have an ambitious plan that could add 2 million units, really take a dent out of that shortfall in affordable housing supply. we need congress to work with us on plans that we've had in our budget ever since we've gotten here and we'll keep pushing till we get there. that's a really important of unfinished business as we head into 2024. >> whit: jared bernstein, thank you for your time this morning. >> great pleasure, whit. thank you. >> whit: gio? >> gio: an important conversation there. coming up in our morning menu, why a 13-year-old britney spears song is burning up the charts and how her ex, justin timberlake's track factors in. >> rhiannon: the new study on the potential dangers of sitting all day at work and what you can do if you spend most of your day at a desk. >> gio: should we stand up? >> whit: sure. plus, "deals & steals," all clever solutions. and, will, you have a new

history. i just could never. >> everything that she said in her book, the woman in me, the britney army never forgets, baby, okay. so, britney, let's go to number one, honey. >> reporter: with britney's "selfish" and justin's battling for the top spot on the itunes charts, how might this affect his big return? >> justin timberlake's strategy was to talk through his music, i think he and his team might want to think differently about that or talking about that dynamic with britney spears because her fan base is strong and they are not happy about how this situation was handled. >> will: we reached out to both artists and haven't heard back. as of this morning, by the way, britney's version of "selfish" is at number one on the itunes pop charts, justin at number two. he doesn't have much time to worry about that. tickets for his tour go on sale a little later this week.

>> rhiannon: it's an interesting coincidence to name your new song the same as a britney song. >> will: if i was on justin's team i would have been screaming across the room, name it something different. >> whit: the britney fans also making the same point loud and clear. yes. thank you, will. >> rhiannon: gio? >> gio: now to a "gma" health alert and new study out on the potential dangers of sitting too much. abc news medical correspondent, our friend, dr. darien sutton, is here to break it all down. good morning. >> good morning. >> gio: we are standing for a reason. >> for good reason. >> gio: tell us about the study. >> we've long known sedentary behavior sitting all day has been associated with increased rates of obesity and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. this new study shows there's a benefit to standing. in the study they looked at almost a million people for over a decade. >> gio: i mean, that's a lot. >> tremendous amount of people and separated them into three physical groups -- those who sat all day, those who stood all day and those who alternated and found those who sat all day had an increased risk of death by 16% and the risk for cardiovascular disease associated with death even

higher, 34%. >> gio: does the study suggest we just ditch sitting altogether when you're at work? >> there are good things about the study that are reassuring. you don't have to ditch sitting all day. there are some benefits. you can avoid risks we just talked about. for example, those that sat and stood up and alternated had avoided those risks and those who sat all day and worked out at the end of the day, 15, 30 minutes, avoided the risk. movement and figuring out where to fit it in. >> gio: what if you don't have a fancy standing desk? >> i'm glad you asked. >> gio: you were ready. >> we have great ideas. standing desks are not for everyone. they're expensive and especially in new york city space is a premium. you can use something simple, like an ironing board, a high kitchen counter. it's important to remember to have a mat to support and protect your back. >> gio: what's the ball for? >> this is my option for those who want to sit down more often. i used to have a professor who could do this all day.

she would sit on this -- that's really -- >> gio: i'll anchor the show this way. >> it activates our core health and keeps us engaged. a great option if you want to sit down. >> gio: we have editors who sit on these. >> i've seen. >> gio: it's amazing. dr. darien, thank you so much as always. >> of course. >> gio: let's get over to somara for another check of the forecast on this wild weather weekend. hey, somara. >> somara: so much going on. you have to check this out. this is from ohio. look how spooky it looks as the car goes into the forest there. hi, that's my own chief meteorologist out in ohio. how are doing? and chicago, oh, my goodness, where are you? i can't see you. you're completely veiled in fog. we got to get the fog out of here and will pretty soon. until then dense fog advisories in place. visibility down to a quarter of a mile. when we hear quarter of a mile that's critical and not just throughout the great lakes. we have fog down in southern georgia and south carolina. the next big story is the

severe weather marching through the southeast today. and it's really going to be hitting during brunch, lunch, when you're getting the errands done during the early half of the day. damaging winds in mobile, that florida panhandle up into montgomery, alabama, birmingham, damaging winds like i said, but also the threat for an isolated tornado so we'll keep an eye on that. then where does the storm go after that? sunday into monday, it heads into the northeast. bringing snow to parts of pennsylvania and new england. that's a look at your forecast. le >> whit: now to our four-legged friends and the winter season, the snow and ice and what's used

to melt it can be rough on paws. veterinarian dr. lori bierbrier with the aspca is here with some safety tips. and she brought her friend sabrina along. hi, sabrina. hi, doctor. >> hi. >> whit: i'm a big dog lover. i have a rescue at home. i've fostered 17 rescue puppies, but i also know that winter can be really tough on their paws. why is that? >> definitely. so definitely on their paws they can get a lot of ice and snow stuck in their paws which would be quite uncomfortable and to prevent that we do have ice melt on the street so that we don't slip and fall and that can be quite irritating to their feet. so we do want to make sure we get that off their feet and wipe their feet when they come

inside. >> whit: when we go outside, what are things we should do before we take the dog out for a walk? >> great question. first thing is know what the weather is like outside. if it's really cold, we may want to put them in a sweater just like sabrina is showing off for us right now. >> whit: she's got a fancy sweater here. >> she does. she's looking good. ready for the cold weather. we also have booties you can put on and then also there are different kinds of boots and different kinds of petroleum jelly or different products to put in their feet to give them extra protection. >> whit: when we bring them back inside, what's the first thing we should do? >> take a look at them. make sure they're comfortable. make sure they're not shivering too much. maybe they got a little chilly outside and wipe their feet. take a washcloth with a little warm water and wiping out any snow, salt, ice melt. >> whit: what about treating or dealing with irritation of any kind or some signs, things to look for? >> another great question. so, in the wintertime sometimes their feet can get a little sore and it's important to take a look, just make sure between their feet it doesn't look red, irritated, or that maybe they're licking it a lot. sabrina, maybe you want a treat. >> whit: she's like, wait a minute.

the person with the treats walked all the way over there. there you go. i know. i don't have any treats. here we go. we can recycle. so, what about this? that's kind of dealing with the paws and whatnot. you touched on this a little bit but a lot of people don't realize if you leave a dog outside in the cold for awhile, when you bring them back in, there are some things you need to keep in mind too. getting them acclimated to the warm house again. what do you do in that situation? >> so, every dog is a little bit different. some dogs love being out in the snow. other dogs, smaller dogs don't handle the cold quite as well. having a warm blanket for them when they come in, maybe putting a blanket in the dryer and getting it toasty warm to wrap around them and make sure you don't warm them up too quickly. if your animal got cold, take extra time to let the warm blanket nurture them. >> whit: sabrina was just yawning. you guys keep talking and talking. no more treats. thank you so much for coming by. we appreciate it and all the wonderful work you're doing.

we have more information about wonderful dogs like sabrina here that are available for adoption. you can visit aspca.org. thank you, again, for your time. >> you're welcome. my pleasure. >> whit: coming up "deals & tal tales steals," all clever solutions. we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

>> gio: welcome back to "gma" as we roar into '24, and this morning, we are bringing it on home with courtney mason from spruce, here to help us with tips to tidy up and help kick-start your clean routine. welcome, courtney. >> thank you so much for having me. january is a great time for a refresh. what does that mean for at home? that means maybe you're still putting away your holiday decor. that's okay. >> gio: that's okay, right? it doesn't matter if the post-holiday cleaning isn't done. >> there's still time. you want to be thoughtful when doing it, and be good to future you. so if any ornaments broke, throw them out. if any lightbulbs died, replace them. untangle lights before you put them away, and put everything away in a nicely labeled box, and you can hit the ground running next holiday season. >> gio: let's say you're moving into spring and have these changing temperatures. you've got tactics for that too. >> i do, yeah. even before you get to spring, i love tackling the kitchen while it's still cold out, because

it's a great indoor task and it gets chaotic over the holidays. so don't be afraid to empty out your entire refrigerator. give it a through deep clean, and throw out anything that's expired. a tip for that is as you throw it away, add it to your grocery list if it needs replacing, so you don't forget it. as you reload your refrigerator, pull anything to the front expiring sooner, so you're sure to use it first. and then when we get to spring, we actually love to move to the closet, because, like you were saying, you're kind of coming out of this hibernation period, and you want to swap out heavier clothes. what we recommend there is stop. take a pause. take stock. what did you really use this winter and what did you not as much as you expected? don't want to box it up and just deal with it all next winter. if you didn't use it, consider donating it now. >> gio: if you didn't use it, maybe you won't use it and holding on to it. >> in hopes of it fitting next year. it might not. that's okay. spring is a great time to replace any winter items.

take advantage of end of season sales and don't forget about your pets, they are putting away their heavier clothes too meaning they're shedding everywhere. grab your vacuum. at the spruce we tested tons of pet hair effective vacuums but if anything is giving you trouble grab a dryer sheet. the magic properties free up stuck on pet hair. >> gio: brilliant. every couple months you got to tackle a few things. >> any time you're taking on one of these seasonal projects it's a great reminder to, hey, i got to do some of these basics. let's start in your bedroom. not talking about your pillowcases and sheets but you're probably washing once a week anyway. i'm talking duvet. i'm talking mattress pad. i'm talking the pillows themselves. they do need to be cleaned every few months. but a hot tip, as long as your pillow isn't a memory foam, there's truly a good chance you can just use your washer/dryer which is great. please check your care label

before doing that. but if it is a good candidate, you want to toss it on a gentle cycle with cool water and when you move it to the dryer, throw in some of these wool dryer balls or just clean tennis balls because they break up the clumps that form when your pillow gets wet. >> gio: that's so smart. you have some make-up here. we have 20 seconds. >> always overlook it, clean your brushes every couple of months, dish soap and water, baby shampoo and water and check expiration dates. makeup expires faster than you think but there's tips on the bottom of the bottle to check. >> gio: you're filled with good tips, thanks so much, courtney mason from the spruce and we'll be right back. from the spruce be right back.
