Should you buy stocks and invest during a recession? Is it safe to invest when the unemployment rate is high and the economy is weak? Or should you wait to invest when the economy is stronger and the unemployment rate is low. Waiting until the labor market is strong again may make one feel better about investing, but the data is pretty straightforward; deferring your investments until the storm clouds have passed is a pretty lousy strategy. This may seem counterintuitive, but stock returns are far greater following record-high unemployment than following record-low unemployment.
