If the length is less than a year, it will temporarily hurt but most people will recover. However, if the recession lasts more than a year, it can permanently impact (e.g. job loss) a broader range of people, which would exacerbate the mortgage and credit issues. The last two recessions of of 1990 and 2001 have been relatively short at 8 months. Most of us, including me, have not experienced the longer recessions of 16+ months. Sun,
