Theories and prophecies about a possible economic recession in the United States
R. Gelfenstein - Nervousness about job security is increasing, although job prospects are strong for now. Economic concerns could be prophetic, as any economic downturn is likely to lead to more disparities in financial vulnerability and broader economic inequalities, the Axios study explains.
Unemployment rates are currently near record lows, near an all-time low of 3.6%. However, the US Federal Reserve wants to raise the rate to combat inflation, which has remained high since 2021.
"Across all income levels, the proportion of workers who fear a loss of income next month increased in June compared to the previous month," according to research by morning Consult/Axios Inequality Index.

Financial vulnerability also increased as inflation took hold in the food and gasoline sectors. "In June, 36.9% of adults in low-income households said they had no savings to cover basic expenses for a full month, up from 32.2% the previous month," Axios said.
