Looks like the data matches the history.

Where as soon as each official recession has been deemed to occur in retrospect according to today's terms, then unemployment shoots up since so many people are kicked out.

As we have seen.

Yes, that graph shows the "retrospect" recession start, and every one is after unemployment rises. But not every rise in unemployment yields a recession.

Currently there is not a rise in unemployment.
