Economy entered recession in February, economists say
(Worthy News) – The National Bureau of Economic Research announced Monday that a recession began in February of this year, marking the end of the longest period of economic growth in history.
“The unprecedented magnitude of the decline in employment and production, and its broad reach across the entire economy, warrants the designation of this episode as a recession, even if it turns out to be briefer than earlier contractions,” the bureau said in its report.
