Historically, the unemployment rate increases by 0.5–1.0 percentage points within the first four months of the onset of a recession. Will the rise in unemployment in the U.S. accelerate?

In this cycle, the unemployment rate has risen by 0.5 percentage points over the past 4 months, reaching 4.3% in July, the highest level since October 2021.

History shows that if a moderate recession occurs, the unemployment rate could exceed 6% by the end of 2025.

The unemployment rate has already surpassed the 36-month moving average for the first time in 4 years.

Every time this has happened in the past, a spike in unemployment followed.
