In a recession, a decrease in consumer spending causes many businesses to lay off workers or even to close. Workers who lose their jobs in a recession usually cannot find new jobs. The result is an increase in the number of people who are jobless. Recoveryfrom a recession is defined by an increase in consumer spending and an expansion of business activity that creates a need for additional workers, but business people generally have little confidence in the economy after a recession and therefore delay hiring additional workers as long as possible.Hence it is not always necessary that the end of recession is marked by increase in the employment rate and decrease in the number of jobless.
