In economics, stagflation or recession-inflation is a situation in which the inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains steadily high.


That literally matches my statement.

A reduced growth rate =! economic contraction.

The unemployment rate isn't high. Even the U6 (7.0%) is below the average of (10%).

We aren't just seeing a reduced growth rate though. We've seen two consecutive quarters of actual GDP contraction.
