Janet Yellen: 'You don't have a recession' with unemployment at 50-year low

Despite stubbornly high inflation and rising interest rates, the economy may avoid a recession this year, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday said she sees a path in which the U.S. economy avoids a recession, citing a slow-but-steady decline in inflation, strong job growth and a historically low unemployment rate.

"You don't have a recession when you have 500,000 jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years," Yellen said during an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." "What I see is a path in which inflation is declining significantly, and the economy is remaining strong."
