the United States is now in a recession



The United States has officially entered a recession. This announcement comes as no surprise to many as the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the economy. With businesses forced to close their doors, millions of Americans losing their jobs, and consumer spending at an all-time low, it was only a matter of time before the country’s economy began to contract.

A recession is defined as a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) made the official declaration that the US is now in a recession after seeing a sharp contraction in economic growth.

The impact of the recession is already being felt by millions of Americans. Unemployment rates have skyrocketed, with millions of workers filing for unemployment benefits in the past few months. Businesses, especially those in the travel, hospitality, and retail industries, have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturn. Many small businesses have been forced to close permanently, unable to weather the storm.

Consumer spending, which makes up a significant portion of the US economy, has plummeted as people have cut back on spending and are saving their money for essentials only. This lack of spending has further exacerbated the economic downturn, leading to a vicious cycle of decreasing demand and business closures.

The government has implemented various measures to try and mitigate the effects of the recession. The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates to near-zero levels, and Congress has passed several stimulus packages to provide financial relief to individuals and businesses. However, it remains to be seen whether these measures will be enough to jumpstart the economy and lead to a quick recovery.

As the US officially enters a recession, it is important for individuals and businesses to be prepared for the long road ahead. Now more than ever, it is crucial to prioritize financial planning, budgeting, and saving for the future. By taking these steps, Americans can weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side of this recession.

    It's hard to predict the future until we see this month’s inflation results. However, historical data consistently show that stocks tend to outperform bonds in the long term. Therefore, I'm staying in the market and focusing on selecting high-quality stocks. The challenge lies in identifying these stocks.

    In the "Recession Joe Biden" economy local businesses are feeling the pressure from higher food prices – seeing them double, sometimes triple what they used to be. Just another let's go Brandon moment

    It is what it is! During this austere times, protecting one's capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if one loses one's capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

    With inflation running at a four-decade high, a recession is now the ‘most likely outcome for the economy. How can I grow my portfolio to outpace inflation and maintain a successful long-term strategy? I have been reading of investors making mouth watering profit in this current crashing market, any recommendations to scale up my returns during this crash will be highly appreciated.

    Here we go with the avalanche of Biden blame. Just like when Trump was president nobody gets anything done and would much rather point the finger at the president instead of the hundreds of politicians who have just as much pull of not more than the president when it comes to approve anything. Let’s ignore the real source of our problems and use the president as a scape goat for a quick laugh

    Kudos to Fox for acknowledging that two negative numbers added up equals a negative number. Others are still struggling with the concept.

    Biden Voters: I voted for him because I didn't like Trump's beliefs

    Me: I had a headache so I cut it off

    They voted for Biden because they wanted feelings over facts on how to run this country.
