(Reuters) – The U.S. economy could face significant weakness over the next couple of months until coronavirus vaccines are widely distributed, but those vaccines, combined with the increased odds for fiscal stimulus under President-elect Joe Biden, could boost the economy in the long run, Boston Federal Reserve Bank President Eric Rosengren said on Wednesday.
“I’m expecting that the labor market is going to be stagnant for the next couple months until we have much more widespread vaccinations,” Rosengren said in an interview with Reuters.
