The Most Prolonged Period of Economic Growth?
Unemployment Rate Trends: A Historical Perspective
Between March 1965 and July 1970, the unemployment rate consistently remained under 5% each month, marking the longest such period in recent economic memory—until recently. Beginning in late 2015, the unemployment rate has stayed below 5% for an impressive 125 months in a row.
However, it's important to note that this trend was interrupted when the unemployment rate soared to 14% during the initial months of the Covid-19 pandemic. This spike, though, was not the result of a typical recession. There was no traditional credit cycle at play; instead, the downturn was artificially induced. Many individuals received unemployment benefits while not working, and government support helped businesses remain operational. As a result, the labor market was essentially put on pause during this period.
