How to use recession in a sentence?

  1. Kelly Bogdanov:

    Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen really struck a tone between dovish and hawkish, and I think delivered, for the most part, what the market needed. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was dovish enough to signal that a March rate hike is probably off the table but hawkish enough to leave the impression Federal Reserve is confident the economic recovery will persist, that's very important for stocks because as long as we can avoid a recession, this correction will probably work itself out and we'll have the opportunity to bounce back.

  2. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday:

    I want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans. We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say these things like, 'Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,' arh, arh, arh, arh.

  3. Hillary Clinton:

  5. Gennadiy Goldberg:

    If anything, this should go a long way in reassuring markets that the U.S. is n’t headed towards a recession, this pretty much goes to support the fact the U.S. economy continues to grow and The Fed can raise rates.
