recessions
Markets shrinking painfully
Recessions is the plural of recession.
A recession is a period of economic decline—reduced trade, rising unemployment, falling output.
Economists typically define it as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.
The word also means the act of receding or withdrawing: the recession of floodwaters, gum recession.
In formal ceremonies, a recession is the procession out of a venue at the end of a service.
