A Woodland Staffing Company Conducts Recession Poll: Overwhelming Majority of Businesses Don’t See One Soon

October 18, 2019 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Woodland, Wash. – An overwhelming majority of business leaders, who surveyed in a new Express Employment Professionals poll, don’t expect a recession within the next six months, despite increased media focus on the possibility of an upcoming downturn. Here are the results of the survey from the Woodland staffing company.

In the survey, just 4% expect a recession in the next three months, while 14% expect one in three to six months. Nearly one-third (31%) predict a recession in six months to one year.

More than one-third (36%) expect a recession in one year, and 41% say a recession is likely two years away.

Q4 Outlook

Compared to the last quarterly survey, slightly more respondents now expect a recession in less than two years.

Q3 Outlook

In addition, only 5% of respondents say they live in an area that is currently in recession.

“The people we talk to don’t see a recession any time soon,” said Bill Stoller, CEO of Express. “There are some signs of an overall slowing of the economy—but a slowdown and a recession are two different things. Right now, the job market is strong. So, the most important thing is not to let our fears launch a recession.”

About the Survey
