Analysts expect the unemployment rate to reach 6 percent to 6.5 percent next year, less than the 7.8 percent peak in the last recession in 1990-91. The unemployment rate hit 10.8 percent at the end of the more serious 1981-82 recession. Many analysts expect the current recession to end next spring, making its duration close to the I I-month average for recessions since World War IL Tourists visit World Trade Center site . New York City's newest tourist attraction is.not a sports stadium or an art museum. · It is a demolition site and a graveyard, the remains of the World Trade Center - a smoldering, dusty monument to terrorist destruction. To thousands of Americans, visiting the site of the for­ mer Twin Towers has become a pilgrimage as they find themselves drawn to Ground Zero. While some vendors in the area try to cash in on the tragedy - selling Twin Towers photos, patriotic pins and FDNY and NYPD T-shirts - most visitors go directly to barricades along Broadway to snap pictures of the wreckage. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who once ordered arrests of people taking pictures in restricted areas, has now an­ nounced plans for a public viewing platform to accom­ modate holiday visitors. "People have a very legitimate and honest interest in CHERYL DIAZ MEYER/DALLAS MORNING NEWS wanting to be able to see it," Giuliani recently told reporters.
