Recession!!

With the depletion of the world’s economy, will the world push itself to the recession. As per Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell statement, We may be in a recession from April to June due to the region’ financial status. Also magazine Harvard businesses review depicts it clearly.

  • Microsoft Corp. in 1975–when unemployment was 8.5%.
  • The ubiquitous MTV started up in 1981, on a shoestring budget and a risky idea.
  • Then, there’s Revlon Cosmetics. Founded in 1932 during the Great Depression, one product helped launch the company into a multimillion-dollar corporation less than a decade later: Nail Polish.
