AI Overview

It is difficult to predict the exact duration of a recession, but they typically last between six and 18 months, with the average post-WWII recession lasting about 11 months. The length depends on various factors, and recent economic data and expert opinions suggest the US economy is currently vulnerable to a downturn, though some analysts expect growth to reaccelerate.

Historical averages:

Recessions since World War II have averaged around 11 months, though some have been much shorter (like the two-month COVID-19 recession) and others much longer (like the 18-month Great Recession).

Current outlook:

The U.S. economy is considered vulnerable, with some experts pointing to late 2025 or early 2026 as a period of heightened risk, particularly due to factors like inflation from tariffs and a softening labor market.

Uncertainty:

Predicting the precise length and timing is impossible. Economic indicators are mixed, and forecasts vary, with some analysts expecting growth to pick up after a potential slowdown.
