Hi Friend,

I'm no economist, but strange times are ahead. While it's not 100% clear if we're in a recession, the economy is definitely giving off weird vibes.

Despite record-breaking inflation, rising interest rates, and a shrinking economy, the unemployment rate has remained steady. The U.S. economy even reported that it added jobs. And while that last bit of news is good, it doesn't consider how much more expensive it is to afford the bare necessities. Nothing is safe—not even the price of beloved bananas. It's no wonder consumer confidence is at an all-time low.

In an effort to stay optimistic, we've rounded up several resources to help your business through the highs and lows of 2022's economic rollercoaster.
