Key Points

  • "Inflation in inflation" is not a sign of a recession; it is a typographical or conceptual error. Recession typically involves a slowdown in economic activity, not a redundancy in terms.
  • Decrease in employment rates signifies a recession as companies lay off employees due to reduced business activities.
  • Industry starts reducing prices to stimulate demand, which can be a response to recession-induced reduced consumer spending.
  • A normal decline in demand is a characteristic of an economic downturn, where consumers and businesses cut back on spending.
