Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

The jobs report is never as simple as some headlines make it seem; yes, unemployment dropped by just over 1-percent, but it went UP for African-Americans, explains Chad Stone, Chief Economist for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. There's other details to consider too, like the fact that the additional unemployment insurance of $600 dollars per week is set to end on July 31st, and we have yet to see what reopening the economy does to the coronavirus case numbers. Mark and Chad unpack this and more in today's essential episode.
