The recession indicators have been raised 15 point since 2020. The highest till 2020. It is a fact, find the information in the economics data. Key recession indicators include an inverted yield curve (short-term rates higher than long-term), rising unemployment (Sahm Rule), decreased consumer spending, high inflation, and declining manufacturing output. Leading indicators also include falling stock prices, fewer building permits, and increased debt delinquencies, etc. Good job with the economy!....., (yes! I'm sarcastic!).
