The U.S. economy is now officially in a recession since last December, making this downturn a long one year old. This effectively makes it the longest ever in a quarter century.
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the chief arbiter of U.S. recessions, has confirmed and decided that this recession began last December, making it the 11th post-war recession.
Only two post-war recessions have been longer — November 1973 to March 1975, and July 1981 to November 1982. NBER has suggested the current recession is very likely to be the longest since the Great Depression.
