The Glade 4.0 :: View topic - The Recession Ended in 2009?

CAMBRIDGE September 20, 2010 - The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research met yesterday by conference call. At its meeting, the committee determined that a trough in business activity occurred in the U.S. economy in June 2009. The trough marks the end of the recession that began in December 2007 and the beginning of an expansion. The recession lasted 18 months, which makes it the longest of any recession since World War II.

When the economy begins expanding again, the recession's over. That doesn't mean the economy is back where it was pre-recession, nor that the pain is over.

Except the economy isn't growing ...

Every positive growth report issued by the BLS under Obama's Administration has been revised to further contraction (that is from positive to negative) during the subsequent report.

So is the economy expanding again? It's not here. People are tightening their belts still.

"Obama created 2.1 million jobs" "no, no, Obama lost 2.5 million jobs" "We're in an economic depression" "no, we're rising out of a recession" "no, the recession is getting worse!" What's really going on?

Hahahaha! No ****? I gave up looking for a job around here....there's not much to be had. From everything that I see locally, it doesn't look like the economy has improved at all...if anything, it has gotten worse. But I realize I'm just one small town in Mississippi....but I can't find any good articles on the state of the economy and employment via google either...I'm kinda lost here.

I think society is better off without everyone working. Isn't that what farms were originally for? So not everyone has to hunt or grow their own food?

Whether that's true or not, it is irrelevant to what I posted.

Recessions do not necessarily end when there's "growth" in the economy. Using the political definitions of "recession" and "growth" cycles merely complicates understanding of what's actually going on without providing any useful information. I've explained this at length and in detail several times previously. Quote honestly, the economic situation is bleak in ways no one wants to admit or even recognize; and it's just not limited to the United States.

Whats the saying? Something about borrowing from Peter to pay Paul? Well, countries all over the world have been doing this and it's catching up to everyone. Some sooner than others. The politicians around the world will divert the blame to something else. Everyone likes to get elected with promises of plenty, without having to produce a real plenty. It's a figment.
