Many states are reimposing coronavirus restrictions<\/a>, which will likely lead to new reductions in consumer spending and worker layoffs. As Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve chairman, recently said, \u201cWe\u2019ve got new cases at a record level, we\u2019ve seen a number of states begin to reimpose limited activity restrictions, and people may lose confidence that it is safe to go out.\u201d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Adding to the economic risks, several of the government\u2019s biggest virus rescue programs are scheduled to expire next month<\/a>. It isn\u2019t clear whether Congress will renew them, because congressional Democrats and Republicans disagree on how to do so. Democrats favor a larger rescue package than Republicans do.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Without a new stimulus package, a double-dip recession is possible. In an analysis circulating<\/a> among President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s aides, the research firm Moody\u2019s Analytics predicted that the economy would shrink during both the first and second quarters of 2021, and the unemployment rate would approach 10 percent next summer, up from 6.9 percent last month.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
