After not playing baseball for 3 years in college because of having a total hip replacement, and then coming back to play professionally once I graduated, and get the opportunity to play on a team like the @wcthunderbolts we had in 2007 and 2008...it was like a dream come true. This was a night I will never forget.
During this period, the average expansion was approximately 58 months, and the average contraction was approximately 11 months. Expansion is the default mode of the U.S. economy, and the average expansion time period has continued to average longer over time.
Contract recruiters, meanwhile are probably planning for a period in which they will have to work harder to win a smaller share of overall business. No one knows what the economy will do for certain, but there is good evidence of what it is likely to do. In the old days (early 90Â´s and before) the economy went through cycles of growth and recession. Since late 1948, there have been nine recessions each lasting between 6 and 18 months. On average, a recession every 5-6 years.
