Recession less likely, but West and South may feel it It's been a looming question: Is a recession coming or not? With September here, the chances have fallen significantly, but the West and South can still slip in to a downturn, experts say . The odds of a recession in the West is 35.2% because of rising home prices and layoffs at big technology companies. In the South, the odds are similar at 34.7%. While home prices did increase in the South after the pandemic, experts predict a dip next year. But, paired with inflation, household budgets are feeling the pressure after seeing prices for goods and services increase. And mortgage delinquencies, especially in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, were among the highest in the country last year. 📰 More stories you shouldn't miss 📰 FDA warns CVS, Walgreens and others about unapproved eye products Lyft's new feature allows women, nonbinary riders and drivers to match in app Walgreens settlement with Theranos patients sees company dole out hefty $44 million California fast food workers to get $20 per hour if minimum wage bill passes Save, splurge, (don't) stress: How Gen Z is putting their spin on personal finances 🍔 Today's Menu 🍔 Chipotle announced the return of the Chipotle Carne Asada Quesadilla for a limited-time, which will be available exclusively through the Chipotle app. It was first introduced in 2019, made a return in 2020, and then became one of the most requested items on social media, the company said.
