The WSJ: Shedding Light on the Obscure Committee that Determines the Beginning of a Recession

No one indicator is used to determine a recession. Rather, it’s a group of people, called the Business Cycle Dating Committee. WSJ explains how this group decides when the U.S. has entered a recession, and why knowing that date is so important. Illustration: Jacob Reynolds WSJ Glossary Markets and economics are complex.

Can We Expect Enormous Layoffs During This Recession?

From red-hot inflation to a strong jobs market, and all the negative gross domestic product in between, economists are divided on the health of the U.S. economy. A top concern for Americans: Are there layoffs on the horizon? Economists break down the data and economic indicator complexities brought upon by the Covid pandemic and the war in Europe. More corporate leaders are anticipating a recession, according to a survey from Stifel. Big companies are already announcing layoffs, including Best Buy, Ford Motor, HBO Max, Peloton, Shopify, Walmart and Wayfair. Meanwhile, a survey from PwC shows 50% of firms expect to reduce their labor forces in the next six to 12 months. This comes at a time when the labor market could hardly appear stronger. In July 2022, there were 11.2 million job openings, revealing a shortage of workers for available positions. "I think it's very important to look at the number of job openings," Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecru

Mark Zandi Examines the Factors that Led to the US Recession Indicators' Breakdown.

Moody's Analytics' chief economist Mark Zandi cautions that a recession may be on the horizon. In an interview with CNBC's Andrea Miller, Zandi said a recession did not occur in the first half of this year. Zandi called employment levels the "most important indicator[s]" of a recession. With unemployment at the low rate of 3.5%, he doesn't buy the view that two back-to-back quarters of negative growth alone are sufficient to make for a recession. But Zandi did warn that he expects layoffs to increase in the days ahead. "With this kind of low unemployment, inflation’s going to remain a problem," he said, and to address that the Federal Reserve has signaled it will continue to raise interest rates in an attempt to slow down the job market. Zandi attributed the confusion about whether the U.S. experienced a recession in the first half of this year to the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "These two massive supp

Richard Coffin's perspective on the root cause of economic recessions

How can factors like inflation, supply and demand, and interest rates trigger recessions? Learn the economic basics of modern markets. -- For millennia, the people of Britain had been using bronze to make tools and jewelry, and as a currency for trade. But around 800 BCE, that began to change: the value of bronze declined, causing social upheaval and an economic crisis— what we would call a recession today. So what causes recessions? Richard Coffin digs into the economic fluctuations that affect our modern markets. Lesson by Richard Coffin, directed by Augenblick Studios.

Why a 2022 Recession Would Be Unlike Any Other | WSJ

Is the U.S. in a recession? Many economists think that’s a possibility and by some measurements, it may have already started. But why aren’t people losing their jobs? Recessions usually come with a dip in economic output and a rise in unemployment. Right now, economic output is falling. But so is unemployment. WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath has coined it a “jobful downturn.” We look at past recessions and indicators to explain how a recession in 2020 could be very different.
