Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted August 9, 2022 Prices of online goods dropped by 1% year-over-year and 2% month-over-month in July. That is the first time the price of online goods has dropped since June 2020. Another harbinger that maybe the recession will not hit us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted August 9, 2022 30 minutes ago, Baker Boy said: The signs are already there by the historical definition. We are in a technical recession according to historical standards but it is rare for job growth to happen during recessions (7 of the last 7 saw massive job losses.) There are signs we are and signs we are not and economic experts consensus is essentially....maybe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted August 9, 2022 You guys want a hard and fast "yes/no" answer and that is not the way this stuff works. Case in point- the labor market is strong, unemployment has remained at historic lows all year. In May, it was reported that there were two open positions for every job seeker. Paychecks grew in June...those are not signs of a recession. However, the yield curve shows signs of a recession. Basically if we are in a recession it is a completely unique one that the country has never seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't even know about "redefinition of terms" until you all here started talking about it. I don't care what the MSM says on stuff like this. There are signs we are and signs we are not: The inflation numbers point to one, the job numbers don't. The US doesn't have an official rule or definition for one- 8 economists decide it. Their definition is: ""[a recession] involves a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months." There is tons of ambiguity in that definition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it wouldn't be. Same scenario under a republican admin it would still be "some signs say we are, and some signs say we aren't." I know this might be hard for you to believe- but some people can view a scenario without saying "Republicans this and Democrats that" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
