Terrifyingly, Rodrique found that after prices reach their all-time high, they collapse into a “bull trap” before “returning to normal” only to resume an even deeper capitulation.

Will America see the widespread poverty and economic devastation that it experienced during the Great Depression? Some economists believe we might already be there

– it just hasn’t hit home yet.

according to David Blanchflower, an economics professor at Dartmouth College, (unemployment numbers in the United States and Europe) suggest the West faces its most significant economic economic catastrophe since

Between and 2003, the US unemployment rate rose from (3.2% to) . 9%

, with the number of unemployed Americans soaring from (1.6 million to) . 8 million . Now, US jobless claims have already exceeded 20 million in just three weeks , and the crisis is just beginning. When it is all said and done, many experts believe the US unemployment rate will exceed the 41% record set in the Great Depression. What is the Difference Between a Depression and a Recession?

Recessions are periods of economic decline that last or at least two quarters while depressions are economic declines that last for years . With the global economy on lockdown for most of the first quarter, a recession is almost guaranteed.
