For most of 2008 the the question has been, "Will the U.S. experience a recession?" Now that most economists agree a downturn has arrived, the question has shifted to: "How bad will is it going to get?" Economists <http://pull.jpmorgan-research.com/cgi-bin/pull/DocPull/16240-563F/62679\ 303/GDW102408.pdf> at J.P. Morgan Chase say it will be worse than the past two relatively mild (1990-91, 2001) recessions. And the recovery will be painfully slow, too. "From the perspective of wealth losses and declines in real consumption, the current recession is likely to prove more severe than any of the previous ten in the post World War II era," they said.

The chart is sortable by year the recession began, the decline over the two worst quarters, the total peak-to-trough decline in GDP, the rise in the unemployment rate over the recession, the number of quarters in outright recession and the number of quarters that registered slow growth just click the column headers to re-sort.
