Are professional services recession-proof? Certainly not. Are they more resilient and less impacted by the traditional woes of inflation or even recession? Perhaps.
We have lived with increasing inflation for more than a year now as the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates each quarter to ward off a recession. Yet, more than half of global CEOs expecting growth to return by the year's end.
How can the dire predictions be true while unemployment is at its lowest level in half a century? If we are on the brink of recession, why isn't it showing up in the data? And why does the economy seem unfazed by the Fed rate hikes?
For one thing, historical comparatives don't account for the fact that the services sector now accounts for almost 80% of the US GDP. And that's important because a services economy is significantly less reliant on major inflation drivers than the manufacturing sector is.
