WHY IT MATTERS
  1. An inverted curve (short > long) has often come about a year before recessions; the un-inversion matters too.
  2. The Sahm rule triggers when the 3-month unemployment average rises 0.5 pt above its 12-month low — rarely wrong since 1970.
  3. Lights are warnings, not prophecies. They matter more when several turn on together.
