CBS This Morning: Over 5 Million Americans File for Unemployment
More than 5 million people filed for unemployment in the last week as coronavirus lockdowns continue through the country. Although the number is lower than the previous two weeks, the figure rounds out a grim four-week span in which over 20 million Americans filed jobless claims. I joined CBS This Morning to talk about what that figure means for the U.S.'s road to economic recovery.
CBS Sunday Morning: Small Business Owners Struggle

I chatted with some small business owners who are trying to maintain their (and their employees') livelihoods in a time of tremendous uncertainty.
