Are we on the brink of the Un-Recession? The latest jobs report–published August 5–showed that the United States added over half a million new jobs in the month of July.

 

Unemployment is at or a near a 50-year low. Both points add credence to a growing number of economists who are pushing back against the claim that the US economy is official in a recession, despite recording negative economic growth two quarters in a row (the textbook definition of a recession).

 

Confused?

 

You’re not the only one. The economy is contracting, albeit not by much, but consumer spending is near an all-time high.

Unemployment is an all-time low. Manufacturing employment is up. The finance sector, less so. And yet inflation remains a persistent bugbear.

What is clear, however, is that the old rules about how our economy works no longer apply after THE UN-RECESSION.
