BERMAN: Developing this morning, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is hospitalized at this hour. She underwent non-surgical treatment for a gallstone-related infection.

All the arguments right now are by phone. Justice Ginsburg has been through four bouts with cancer over more than 20 years.</s>HILL: The White House is bracing for a bruising April jobs report this week. A White House economic adviser telling CNN it could show a historic unemployment rate, as high as 20 percent. CNN's Christine Romans joins us now with more. The entire country, I think, bracing for those numbers, Christine.</s>CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, absolutely. You know, we've shut down huge parts of the American economy on purpose. And this is what it looks like for the jobs market.</s>KEVIN HASSETT, WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIC ADVISOR: My guess right now is it is going to be north of 16 percent --</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Worse? Wow.</s>HASSETT: -- maybe as high as 19 or 20 percent. And so we are looking at probably the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Wow. Well, that --</s>HASSETT: It's a tremendous negative shock. A very, very terrible shock.</s>ROMANS: You know, those numbers are hard to hear. But do the math, and it's not hard to get to 20 percent unemployment. Thirty million people have been laid off or furloughed in just the last six weeks. That's almost one in five workers. Now, some perspective. It took months during the Great Recession to reach a peak of 10 percent unemployment. During the awful recession in the Reagan years, the jobless rate reached 10.8 percent for two months back in 1982. But this, what we're seeing right now today, this would be the worst. END
