We’re looking for peaks in the unemployment rates (blue line) in relation to recessions (shaded area). There’s a pattern of a peak always close to the right end of the shaded area, thus, as per the graphic, highest rates are seen nearest the end of a recession.

This is tricky. Intuitively one can go initially to the “steep increase” alternative (myself included) since the curves are steepen post-recession late 1940s and 1990s. But, prompt asks for period immediately following the recession ending in the late 1940s, compared with the period immediately following the recession ending in the early 1990 - so we have to compare late 1940s post-recession rate of about 8% with 1990s post-recession rate about 6%, which, in comparison, shows a steep decrease in value.

I have been unemployed since then until 2 months ago when I found a job. Hopefully the unemployment rate will get lower and lower, heardle a song-guessing game that gives players extremely enjoyable moments of relaxation and entertainment while also challenging their music knowledge
