Recruiting Recession

For years, recruiting has been the (or at least, one of the) hottest topics in staffing. And with good reason: Our economy has remained strong, and the national unemployment rate has been at or below 4% for roughly a year.

But the writing is on the wall.

Everywhere you look, economists, politicians, business professionals and staffing industry leaders are talking about the other “r” word: Recession. Our economy has had a long good run, and it won’t last forever.

Now, I’m not saying the sky is falling. It’s not. Many experts say that 2019 will be slower, but just fine – and that a recession may be up to two years away. But if you’re a planner like me, you need to know what’s on the horizon for you and your clients – so you can prepare accordingly.

When Will the Next Recession Hit?

In this infographic, we shared stats from Barry Asin’s 2019 Executive Forum keynote. It included data from JP Morgan Chase projecting the risk of recession at:

  • 28% in 2019
  • 60% in 2020
  • 81% in 2021
