Economists Warn of Possible U.S. Recession Amid Rising Uncertainty

Concerns over a potential U.S. recession are growing as economic uncertainty increases. Rising tariffs and a weakening job market, marked by layoffs, are adding pressure to the economy.

Uncertainty Fuels Economic Concerns

Laura Jackson Young, an economics professor at Bentley University, highlighted the role of uncertainty in the current economic risks.

“The threat of a recession has grown in recent weeks, and it’s something we can’t ignore,” Young stated. She explained that when businesses and households are unsure about the economy’s future, they tend to cut back on spending. “Much of the recent volatility in financial markets is fueled by this uncertainty.”

Impact on Businesses and Consumers

Businesses are hesitant to invest or expand their workforce due to the unclear economic outlook. Young also noted that consumers might reduce spending and increase savings to prepare for potential job instability.
