The U.S. economy is weaker than expected though not likely headed for recession in 2016, Mohamed A. El-Erian said on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

“We are experiencing a lot of volatility. Growth and wages are lower than where we could’ve been, but let’s not forget it’s an economy that creates a lot of jobs,” the Allianz SE’s chief economic adviser said.
