Lance downplays threat of 1977 slowdown despite June job rise
Budget Director Bert Lance argues the 1977 slowdown is not imminent though he notes coincidences with 1976. Unemployment rose to 7.1 percent in June from 6.9 in May, mirroring 1976's 7.6 percent peak. He expects second quarter growth to rival 6.9 percent, while retail sales slow and underspending totals reach about $10 billion, a factor economists blamed for mid-year slowdowns.
