Economy in Upheaval: Recovery on the Horizon

June 2009

Economic recovery will continue to be a sasquatch for the rest of 2009-we will catch glimpses of it only to see it fade away quickly. Regardless, the recovery from the Great Recession is on the horizon at last. Gone are the frightening scenarios of a financial meltdown and global depression that persisted in through Q1 2009. Persistent high unemployment will be a drag on GDP growth and drive a long flat bottom through 2010 followed by an anemic recovery through 2011.
