It's official: U.S. is in recession
It's official: U.S. is in recession
Dec. 1: A CNBC panel discusses new data from the National Bureau of Economic Research saying that the current recession actually began in December, 2007.
CNBC
WASHINGTON - The economy fell into recession late last year, according to a panel of economists that is responsible for determining the dates of business cycles.
Monday's declaration by the panel of the National Bureau of Economic Research confirms what many private economists, lawmakers and members of the general public already have assumed and puts an official date on it: A U.S. recession began in December 2007.

Re: It's official: U.S. is in recession
So it took them a year to make it official?

Great.
More ammunition for the doom-and-gloom folks among us, I guess.

More conformation for those who see where we are headed.
The reason it took a year to make it official is because they don't admit these things until they are completely undeniable.

Are you being negative?
Why didn't you inform me that it was in positive territory all of last week?
That would have been cheerier.
