: although I like the trough as being punchier, this is nice because of the biblical imagery but I would suggest "in A valley of tears"

a vale of tears
In case you prefer to use the original English equivalent, it would be vale of tears. It's from the Bible, Ecclesiastes, 18-26. This world is a vale of tears, even to those that have much of it.
You could say the economy is lingering in a vale of tears.
