RE: 2030: Are You Ready For 50% Unemployment?

in #busy6 years ago (edited)

The BLS says 4% unemployment but other stats paint a very different picture:

Also, I saw a chart recently (in a Mike Maloney YouTube post?) showing that historically when unemployment numbers drop really low, a deep recession usually follows. A bit counterintuitive, but the correlation is strong.

Yes low unemployment is a leading indicator of impending recession. It is one trait that held up in most cases.
