170 Years of Recession

For your amusement (and information) this fascinating little chart posted today on The Big Picture blog shows the 170 history of recessions in the U.S. dating from 1850.  It is of special interest to note that the 2010's has been the only decade in history not to have even one recession.  And no sign of anything on the horizon.  Yet the cynics have been insisting for ten years that a major catastrophic recession is just around the corner.  Food for thought.  Enjoy the weekend.
