Arolling recession, orrolling adjustment recession, occurs when therecession only affects certain sectors of the economy at a time. As one sector enters recovery, the slowdown will ‘roll’ into another part of the economy. On the whole, rolling recessions occur regardless of nationwide or statewide economic recession, and the effects may not be in the national economic measures (e.g.,gross domestic product (GDP)).[1] Therecession of 1960–61 in theUnited States is an example of a rolling-adjustment recession.[2]
