Simon Sees Unemployment Cresting At 8.9
Treasury Secretary William E. Simon said the 8.9 percent unemployment rate marks, approximately, the recession’s peak. He noted April job growth and labor-force expansion, predicted a drop in oil prices later this decade, and cited IMF data on reserves and national finance shifts. Exxon rose atop Fortune’s ranking, while Ford faced potential $350 billion lost output and a possible $70 billion deficit if unemployment passes 9 percent with deflationary financing.
