Recession ended in June 2009?

Is a jobless recovery a recovery?

Recession over?

Maybe Joe Biden just got his calendar wrong. The National Bureau of Economic Research has declared that the “Great Recession” ended in June 2009 after an eighteen-month negative span, the longest since World War II. That shouldn’t come as a great shock to anyone following GDP numbers, which started turning positive in the third quarter of 2009, the very definition of an end to a recession. However, this also means that another recession won’t technically be a double-dip, but instead a brand-new recession that will entirely belong to the current administration:


Buffett: 'We're still in a recession'...

Jobless claims rise again...

Welch: Administration Is 'Anti-Business'...
Zuckerman: The American Dream Has Become a Nightmare...
