US unemployment is likely to remain in double digits as Americans go to the polls in November, a top
White House economic adviser said Sunday.
Kevin Hassett predicted that US economic growth will "skyrocket" in the third quarter but could fall short of a full recovery from the
Coronavirus pandemic.
Hassett, chairman of the council of economic advisers, warned Friday that the unemployment rate, which hit 14.7 percent in April, may rise to 22 to 23 percent in May and edge up a bit in June before falling back down.
