    Between quarter 7 and 8

    Explanation:

    To calculate the recession lets consider the quarter 7 and 8.

    GDP in quarter 7 = $4499 Billion

    GDP in quarter 8 = $4409 Billion

    Growth rate of GDP in these two quarters = 4409-4499/4499*100

    = - 2 percent

    Recession happens when the GDP decreases
