I have been fortunate that it hasn't really affected me, so maybe that is why I do not consider it great? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-this-recession-the-great-recession#post-317882 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:26:11 +0000 mrbee 317882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to Wikipedia, "the 2008–2012 global recession [is] sometimes referred to as the late-2000s recession, Great Recession, the Lesser Depression, or the Long Recession."</p> <p>I've never heard of any of these names before, except for the Great Recession. But I've only ever seen that name used online - in person, if people say anything at all, they usually just refer to the "Recession,"</p> <p>Do you call this recession the "Great Recession"? Something else? </p>
