These

and the
crisis which we n everyone had face it
that time n still that recession is been effecting now a days !!!!!!
So for
those people's who r listening about
the word recession it's means that a period of economic decline during which
trade and industrial activity are reduced and fall in a GDP,marked by highly
unemployment and fall in retail sales or we can say that it is an significant
decline in activity across the economy, lasting
longer than the few months.
The
National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) describes it this way:
'A
recession is a period of decline in total output, income, employment and trade,
usually lasting six months to a year and marked by widespread contractions in
many sectors of the economy.'
“Annualized GDP change from 1923 to 2009. Data are annual from
1923 to 1946 and quarterly from 1947 to the second quarter of 2009”.
The average duration of the 11 recessions
between 1945 and 2001 is 10 months, compared to 18 months for recessions
between 1919 and 1945, and 22 months for recessions from 1854 to 1919.
The biggest
example of the recession is the great recession which occur in 2008 :

The subprime mortgage crisis led to the
collapse of the United States housing bubble. Falling
housing-related assets contributed to a global financial crisis, even as oil and
food prices soared. The crisis led to the failure or collapse of many of the
United States' largest financial institutions: Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman
Brothers, Citi Bank and AIG, as well as a crisis in the automobile industry. The
government responded with an unprecedented $700 billion bank bailout and $787 billion
fiscal stimulus package. The National Bureau of Economic Research
declared the end of this recession over a year after the end date. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) finally
reached its lowest point on March 9, 2009.

In 2008 the
causes are
- The economy shrank 2.7 percent. Initially, the BEA thought it grew 0.6 percent.
- The economy rebounded 2.0 percent The initial release said it grew 1.9 percent. Everyone thought the Fed's rescue of Bear Stearns ended the threat to financial markets.
- The economy shrank 1.9 percent, much more than -0.3 percent initial estimate.
- The economy collapsed, shrinking 8.2 percent. The BEA initially said it only shrank 3.8 percent, although that was bad enough. For more details on all the revisions, see 2008 GDP.
In 2009 the causes are
- The economy shrank 5.4 percent. The initial estimate said it shrank 6.1 percent.
- GDP growth was -0.5 percent, better than the initial estimate of -1.0 percent.
There are various questions are arises in our mind while we r reading
this blog how this economic recovery ends or will this is occur in future
generation or not ??????
The U.S. hit full employment in August 2015. , full employment has its own dynamics.
It means energy firms looking to staff up are potentially competing with other
sectors like construction for workers and raw materials, raising production
costs that then have to be passed on .While the U.S. economy is less
energy-intensive than it has been in the past, companies looking to become more
efficient on the labor front may employ energy-intensive equipment or machinery. The economy looks like it could go back in recession, if it ever
came out of it in the first place.
Recessions are not caused by a fall in
consumption; they are caused by a fall in investment spending. If you doubt me, here is
the Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve stating that investment is the key to
the business cycle:
"Although it makes
up only about 10 percent of gross domestic product, business investment is a
vital element of the U.S. economy, with important implications for a variety of
broader economic issues.”
Why
do businesses invest in new capital equipment? Two reasons: (1) to improve
productivity of existing plants so profits increase, and (2) to expand capacity
so profits increase. That is why investment tax credits for business have
always worked to get the US out of recession, and worked spectacularly well to
get us out of the 1982 recession.
Will
recession affect our future or not?????
The financial impact of the 20072009 recession will
reverberate into retirement for many working families, even those who did not
lose their jobs. Average wages grew very slowly during the downturn, reducing
lifetime earnings. Lower earnings leave less income to set aside for retirement
and depress future Social Security and pension incomes. Although unusually
strong wage growth in coming years could bail out younger workers, there is
little recourse for workers now approaching traditional retirement ages. For
those age 55 to 59 in 2008, the Great Recession will reduce average age-70
incomes by 5 percent.
Will it effect in IT sector??
Recession can
come in any sector and when it hits it takes the whole economy down with it. As
all sectors are interlinked, recession in even a single sector will effect
every other one, some will be effected more while others will be effected less
but all of them will have an impact. Let me take an example, India did not have
a very good monsoon this year which will effect the food production leading to
a low supply and high demand of food products. This will increase the prices of
food items effecting the profits of FMCG sector. People will be unemployed as
the companies want to decrease there costs in order to maintain profits. Since
production is already low transportation companies will also be effected as
they will not have the same amount of orders to be transported leading to
strikes and imbalance in the sector. Since transportation is less, demand for
petrol and diesel will also fall leading to recession in that sector. In this
way other sectors like automobile, exports, insurance and hence banking sector
will also get affected by recession. Unless the government takes some strict
actions this will keep spreading like a virus and engulf all the other sectors as
well.
At last I want
to conclude that by this quote
“I am upset and completely disappointed in the
government, the millionaires and billionaires in the U.S. See what's happening
to the country? Look at all the health problems, the economy, the recession and
crime.”
