FRED Interactive: The Great Recession
The economic recession that started in December 2007 and ended in June 2009 is sometimes called the “Great Recession.” In this interactive lesson, students learn to use several FRED features that are key for understanding and visualizing data: formatting data units and customizing the graph. This helps us see why the 2007-2009 recession received that moniker.
