In October, I predicted that real GDP would not fall below $11 trillion year 2000 dollars. So far, that's been right.
If real GDP drops below $11 trillion, that would be a real GDP decline that is slightly worse than the 1981-82 recession.
I was wrong about employment, though.

The Minnie Fed has the GDP and nonfarm payroll employment percentage declines here and here for all post WW2 recessions.
