Recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP numbers. The GDP growth estimates were just slashed around 15% all the way down to 3.4%. If you didn’t pick up on it, I’m being sarcastic and mocking domino.

In order for dominos doom and gloom to come to fruition economic activity would have to come to a complete and screaming halt right now, and then swing negative, for the next six months.

If we stop hiring for any length of time then there are bigger problems. With the looming retirement numbers any lengthy pause will dig them in such a manning hole it may not be possible to get out of it.
