Wait, since when has the U.S. economy been in recession? Last I checked, the stock market predictions for next year could bring it ahead of the all-time highs enjoyed during the tech-boom of the late 90's. The Unemployment rate continues to fall, the job market continues to rise on average in most of the United States. If you don't believe me, check the facts for yourself. Google the recent evolutions of the U.S. economy, check the numbers of Unemployment rate and the average salary per worker. And if you look at national averages, both are going up. And both have passed the post-9/11 numbers we saw. What does this all mean?!?! Please somebody tell me how this can mean recession?!?! If I read reports saying that the U.S. economy is healthier then it's been in 4 years, and the job market is actually starting to steadily grow again, what does it all mean?!?!
