What are the signs/steps to an economic recovery in the eyes of economic indicators? Im looking for something to the effect of- "first supply goes up, then people work more hours, then companies hire more..." but with the use of economic indicators. Im most concerned with unemployment rate; continuous claims; total workforce; change in manufacturing payrolls; u6 data; average earnings month over month (yr over yr) (week over week); and other indicators/reports of the like.
