Recession Worst in Recorded Quarterly History

The economy has now declined 3.9% from its peak. According to the Calculated Risk blog (now a must-read for me), this is now the worst recession since quarterly records started in 1947.

Still a ways off from the technical definition of a depression (10% decline), but that doesn’t make it any more enjoyable.
