You’re exactly right that unemployment is a lagging indicator, both of a recession and the recovery that follows it.

I think you also mentioned in an earlier post the possibility of stagflation.

I talked about this too a couple of weeks ago. And tonight, the news mentioned that oil prices are up to $107 a barrel.

Higher fuel rates ripple down and affect prices at the supermarket because of transportation and heating overhead costs.

Add to that our weakening dollar.

So, we have the conditions in place for exactly that situation. Just as in the 70s, we are experiencing soaring energy costs, a weak dollar and job losses.

I hope I’m wrong about this but stagflation certainly something to look out for.

This is a great site, btw.
