Are we currently in a depression or recession in the United States as a result of the Corona Virus pandemic? Please explain.
We are in a recession, for this to develop in a depression the present condition of job loss, fall in demand and price level have to continue for several years. A economic downturn is termed as a recession when it lasts only for six month or similar period.
Till recently, US market were doing very good, the stock market was high, unemployment was all time low and price were rising, due to all this the Fed had to increase the interest rate, all this are signs of a well functioning economy. IF this present condition lasted for a year or two US will enter a depression which I believe is highly unlikely.
