May 24 (UPI) -- Senior White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said Sunday that he expects unemployment rates to increase in the coming months and possibly remain in double digits in November.
Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Hasset said that the unemployment rate, which has reached near 14.7 percent amid the COVID-19 pandemic, could be "north of 20 percent" in May if "some technical things that kind of messed up" claims reporting this month are resolved.
