The Fed Beige Book is published 8 times a year and is based on anecdotal reports from businesses, economists, and market contacts across the 12 Fed districts: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco.

As you can see on the chart, this has only happened during technical recessions over the last 25 years.
