During a recession, it is less likely for businesses to increase investment spending as they may have less capital available or may be hesitant to take on new investments in an uncertain economic climate. The other options (increased layoffs and firings, higher rate of bankruptcy, and increased claims for unemployment insurance) are all common indicators of a recession.
