Since 1929, there have been 14 recessionary periods in the U.S. Most recently, the U.S. economy entered a brief, two-month long recession from February to April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-none embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/detroit\/video\/recession-concerns-amid-new-tariffs\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Recession concerns amid new tariffs<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">01:43<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Though nation&#8217;s unemployment rate did tick up last month, to 4.1% from 4%, it is still quite low. Employers added 151,000 jobs, a sign that businesses are still seeking to hire. Also, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/retail-sales-rose-below-forecasts-in-february\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">retail sales rose in February<\/a><\/span>, albeit less than expected. The warning signs aren&#8217;t yet flashing red, economists say.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right now, things feel uncomfortable given the significant amount of policy uncertainty, the federal layoffs, and we&#8217;ve seen business, consumer and investor sentiment fray,&#8221; Ryan Sweet, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, told CBS MoneyWatch. &#8220;So, to some it feels like the economy is in a recession, but we are not there yet.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Another possibility: stagflation<\/h2>\n<p>That said, economists are also warning of another, potentially worse outcome for the U.S. economy: stagflation, which is a period marked by a decline in economic activity amid high unemployment and inflation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. last experienced stagflation in the 1970s and early &#8217;80s, when oil production became more costly and inflation surged. Reduced consumer spending led to a slowdown in economic growth and increased unemployment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A good way to think about stagflation is an economic balancing problem,&#8221; O&#8217;Grady said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve got high inflation &#8230; that means the economy is super-charged with a lot of demand, which drives part of that inflation. So the federal government will try raising interest rates to make it more costly to borrow money, and then slow down some of that demand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stagflation \u2014 a mashup of &#8220;stagnation&#8221; and &#8220;inflation&#8221; \u2014 is when economic growth falters even as prices remain painfully high. Ordinarily, inflation eases when the economy contracts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-none embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/new-data-shows-major-drop-in-us-consumer-sentiment\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">New data shows major drop in U.S. consumer sentiment<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">04:47<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How close are we to entering a recession?<\/h2>\n<p>For now, economic data suggests that the risk of the economy entering a recession is relatively low.
