Depends on how you define it. If you use a typical economics definition, then I suspect it won't last much longer. However, many of the visible signs of recession (such as higher unemployment) may persist for quite a while.

Overall, however, growth is still facing some headwinds as our debt bubble still has some unwinding to do as households started digging their way out of the hole. That's going to cap how vigorous any recovery will be, so while we may technically see the end of the recession soon, we may also not get anywhere close to what it was like during the bubble years. It may not feel anything like good times.

I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp -- its controls actually go to TWELVE...

... and rightly so. Anything above 4 and the windows of my house are at risk.
