NBER: Recession Began in December 2007

I was wrong. I thought the National Bureau of Economic Research would date the beginning of the recession in May of 2008. The committee today pinpointed December 2007.
I understand that selection since that’s when employment peaked. The reason for my later date was that GDP numbers continued to look decent through the second quarter. I didn’t think the committee would “overrule” that data, but I guess they did.
