Forecasting Length of RecessionOther (somewhat recent) recessions
• Average recession length since WWII - 10.4 months• 1990-91 and 2001 both short• 1981-82 lasted 16 months and peaked at 10.8% unemployment• 1973-75 lasted 16 months and peaked at 9% unemployment• Great Depression 1930-32 (43 months) 25% unemployment• Current recession is 13 months old, not approaching the trough yet
“Another 2.5 million jobs will be lost in 2009,” says John Stapleford, an economist with Economy.com. That is on top of 1.9 million jobs lost in the first 11 months of 2008. (Preliminary figures for the full year will be published Friday.)
