“In a pre-pandemic world, that would have put annualized growth at its fastest level since the second quarter of 1983. However, the current circumstances and the outsized policy response they generated make this merely the third straight quarter of GDP that sits well above the post-Great Recession trend.”[from CNBC]


what doest "sit well" means?
 
Consistent/in accordance with the (upward) trend.
 
I think you're parsing it wrong. It sits ... well above (a long way above) ... the post-Great Depression trend.
 
emsr2d2 is correct. In the above, it's not [sits well] above. It's sits [well above].

Do you mean you can't see 'Thank' or 'Like' on your computer?

Sarah Zhou, "sit well" is an English phrase, but it isn't in the sentence you quote. (I don't think you're ready for sentences that complex.)

I can see it. But it just doesn't work when I click on it on my computer.
