How to Beat
Recession
In
economics, the term recession generally describes the
reduction of a country's gross domestic product (GDP) for
at least two quarters. The usual dictionary definition is
"a period of reduced economic activity", a business cycle
contraction. [Wikipedia]
You read about economic recession and job
losses everyday. Even the self-employed are affected in a
number of ways.
Associated Press says,
"Economic data
expected to show more
weakness"
The decline in GDP could plunge
to 6%, the sharpest
decline after 1982.
"It will get a lot worse before it gets
better," said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global
Insight, a Lexington, Mass., forecasting firm. "We are in the
midst of the worst recession in the postwar period, even
factoring in a massive stimulus
program."
