Is there room to say that we're not in a recession, or is that just political nonsense? I'll agree with half of what you said, andd disagree with thaf ok souh. The only hesitancy i have on that is that there have been some episodes where the decline in jobs began after the start of the recession. And this gets a little complicated inte recession dating, which is a little bit of an art morearcane thing. But technically speaking, see none of these things.
