The Economic Problems Are Not Behind Us

The index of the U.S. economic indicators fell 0.4% in November, the fifth time in seven months, indicating that the U.S. economy will continue to deteriorate in the coming months. The index of economic indicators, calculated by the Conference Board, is a measure of the direction the U.S. economy should follow within three to six months. The index fell 0.4% in November, after having fallen 0.9% in October, released Thursday by the U.S., according to Bloomberg. This indicator confirms the forecasts of economists that the recession in the United States will be the largest since the Second World War with banks limiting credit, the value of shares and real estate will fall and unemployment will rise. The economical problems are not behind us like many people are saying, the worst may be in front of us.
