A Recession is on the Way: Is your Business Prepared?

October 25, 2022, Clearwater, FL

Running rampant in the news this week, there is increasing agreement among analysts that a recession will hit the U.S. economy in 2023, resulting in significant stock market falls and widespread unemployment throughout the country. According to an article by the Washington Post, inflation accelerated to levels not seen in more than 40 years. This is cause for concern for every business in the nation. 

The average estimate of economists for the likelihood of a recession in the coming year is 63%, up from 49% in the July survey. Since July 2020, during the most recent brief but severe recession, this is the first time the survey has shown that the likelihood is more than 50%.

Their predictions for 2023 are getting gloomier by the second. Since the last quarterly poll, when they projected modest growth, economists have revised their forecasts downward to predict that the gross domestic product would decline in the first two quarters of the year.
