magpie | What is the difference between a recession and a depression? |
Additional Details My Mom was born during the Great Depression but no one I know is taking this as seriously as they should be. I believe the USA as we know it, will be out of business 6 months from now, if a good solution isn't crafted.

A Recession is 2 or more consecutive quarters (3 month periods) of negaitive growth in an economy. Negative growth in the economy can result from job loss, lower stock market, lower GDP/exports, etc.
There is no finite definition of a Depression in economics terms (becuase it's really only happened once in history...1930s), other than it is a severe and extensive recession that last many years. |

A recession is when you lose YOUR job.
A depression is when I lose MY job. |

A recession is like your car when you get a small dent in a small accident. A depression is if your car is run over by a semi and tossed off a bridge ran over by another semi and tossed into the ocean where it is swallowed by a whale and well you get the point. |

recession is your neighbors lose their jobs, depression is when you lose your job.
Actually, recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth, depression is 3 consecutive quarters of minus 10% growth. |

Recession - Economics. a period of an economic contraction, sometimes limited in scope or duration.
Depression - Economics. a period during which business, employment, and stock-market values decline severely or remain at a very low level of activity.
I picture recession like a small valley, a depression like a large fjord. |
