It's not "whether," it's just the year...in question (click here)

More than 70% of economists think a US recession will strike by the end of 2021

In the survey by the National Association for Business Economics, out Monday, 72% of economists predicted that a recession would occur by the end of 2021. That's up from 67% in February and according to data gleaned from more than 200 respondents.

The new figure combines the 38% of economists who said they expect a recession to strike in 2020 with the 34% who said they see one befalling the US economy in 2021.
So the TRUTH is, that the 34% predicting it happening in 2021 is ADDED to the 38% who think it will happen by 2020 (making the 72%).

Ironically, I missed the fact that the exact same thing...is in the link in post #28.

What a difference...the TRUTH and FACTS make.
