Yep, the last weekend in June, and not much has changed, at least not in Jill on Money land. So here we go, another show answering your coronavirus money related questions.
Nearly 1.5 million Americans filed for unemployment last week, the 14th week in a row that the figure has topped one million. And yes, the rollercoaster on Wall Street is just as bumpy as it was a few months ago.
To help try and demystify the current state of the economy, we're joined in hour two by Mark Spindel, one of my oldest friends in the world and the Managing Member, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer for Potomac River Capital.
Mark, who along with Sarah Binder, recently published: The Myth of Independence: How Congress Governs the Federal Reserve. If you're looking for a deep dive on the Fed, this is the book for you.
