You left out this part:

“On the bright side, the U.S. job market is perhaps the best recession indicator of all, and it isn’t flashing trouble.”

“In the past 50 years, every recession has seen the number of jobs in the economy decline by at least 1%. And jobs have never declined by that much outside of a recession.”

“Today, the number of jobs in the U.S. has been growing briskly—up 292,000 in December and up 2.7 million over the past year. This is why many economists remain confident the U.S. can avoid recession.”

Interestingly, MSN has this headline for the article:

“Recession Indicators Flashing Red”.

The original article in the WSJ has an entirely different headline:

“Recession Warnings May Not Come to Pass”

“Posted what I found and the source...didn’t know I was required to multi-source before posting.”

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I had no intent to imply that you had done anything wrong. I thought I had been clear that MSN had changed the headlines from the original article in the WSJ. This change by MSN.COM significantly misrepresented the original article.
