Uncertainty on Wall Street after President Trump tested positive for COVID-19. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss the possible impact of his diagnosis on the economy.
CBS This Morning: Pandemic Housing Market
How near-historic low mortgage rates, fewer homes for sale and bidding wars are driving the housing market during the pandemic. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss how homebuyers can navigate the process.
CBS Sunday Morning: Income Inequality
Two-thirds of the nation's wealth is owned by the richest five percent of Americans, while at the same time more than 38 million Americans live in poverty. The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer has been the story of economic inequality for the last 50 years, and COVID-19 appears set to continue the trend. I joined CBS Sunday Morning with a look at the downside, and what one business figure calls the upside, of income disparity.

CBS Sunday Morning: Higher Ed During COVID
The coronavirus is leaving its mark on colleges and universities, perhaps permanently. With schools working hard to keep COVID-19 off-campus, 13% percent of colleges will offer online-only classes, while 35% will offer a mix of virtual and socially-distanced in-person classes. Here's my piece for CBS Sunday Morning on how educators and students are adjusting to an on-campus experience that will be, as one university professor describes it, “some combination of a monastery and a minimum security prison.”
CBS This Morning: July Jobs Report
A July jobs report that saw 1.8 million new jobs created and a lowering of the national unemployment rate comes amid negotiations in Washington over a second stimulus package. However, the pace of hiring appears to be slowing as more states slow down or roll back their re-openings. I joined CBS This Morning: Saturday to discuss what this all means, and what the numbers say about the future of the U.S. economy.
CBS This Morning: Virus Infects July Jobs
The economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, dropping the unemployment rate to 10.2%. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss the numbers and whether a second wave of layoffs is expected at small businesses.
CBS This Morning: Millions Without Health Insurance
More than 50 million people have applied for unemployment since the pandemic began, and nearly half of U.S. workers get their health insurance through work. One study found that an estimated 5.4 million American workers lost their health insurance in just three months. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss coverage alternatives and what Americans who lost their coverage can do.
CBS This Morning: GDP Historic Drop
Two key reports show the impact of the pandemic. I joined CBS This Morning to explain what the historic drop in GDP and rise in weekly unemployment claims mean for the country's economy.
CBS This Morning: Time for a Will?
The pandemic is putting estate planning into focus. I joined CBS This Morning to explain why having a will, health care proxy and power of attorney documents are so important right now.
