After the whiplash of the early days of the pandemic, the dust is settling as the country moves toward recovery. CNBC gathered five charts that show where affected industries stand now as states begin to reopen, and the housing market is leading the way. Home purchases are up from last year, people are driving more, and reservations at hotels and restaurants are increasing as well. Though things may change if the pandemic has a second wave, the country is on track for recovery for now. Find out how restaurants, hotels, air travel, home sales, and mobility are faring.

As the U.S. economy makes further progress in recovering from the harsh blow of the coronavirus pandemic, certain industries are showing signs of recovery. Home purchases are up compared to last year, reservations are increasing at restaurants and hotel occupancy rates are on the rise. Even the battered air travel industry has seen some slight growth in passengers, indicating that the worst might be over for the U.S. economy.

These five charts illustrate this progress as the economy recovers from one of the most significant downturns in history.
