The US economy has consistently recovered from recessions over the past 70 years by gradually reducing unemployment rates. Even after a recession ends, it takes time for people to find stable jobs again. This slow recovery process is influenced by factors like high unemployment rates and the types of jobs people find in between. The labor market plays a key role in this recovery, with job creation being driven by various factors. Overall, the stability of the US economy's recovery from recessions can be attributed to the gradual working off of unemployment over time.
