Slower Growth Seen for 1977 Amid Inflation Watch
Commerce Department chief economist John Kendrick predicts U S economic growth at about 5 percent in 1977, slower than 6 percent in 1976 but enough to reduce unemployment from 8.1 percent toward 7 percent. Inflation remains near 1976 levels with no major inventory imbalances or bottlenecks, and output should rise without accelerating inflation. Kendrick cautions continued slow unemployment progress and calls for new policy steps if full employment by 1980 is to be pursued.
