boomtime
Era of plenty
Boomtime refers to a period of rapid economic growth, prosperity, or intense activity in a particular industry or sector.
During a boomtime, businesses expand, jobs multiply, and money flows freely.
The tech boomtime of the late 1990s created thousands of millionaires overnight.
The term can also apply more broadly to any era of heightened success or productivity: Her boomtime as a novelist lasted nearly two decades.
