But don't forget students for each of these either the GDP or Unemploment rate goes up or down or may stay the same through the cycle class dismissed!

Ok so does anyone know what a peak is? oh I do its the highest point of the business and the contraction and trough are when a period of economic decline happens and for trough it means the lowest point or bottom of the cycle.!
