As states begin to reopen their economies, some people who've lost their jobs amid the coronavirus crisis are preparing to start work again.
"I have a few weeks booked out already," Idaho hairstylist Ashley Nelson told "Marketplace" host Kai Ryssdal. "I definitely think people are very eager to get their hair done."
Idaho is one of the states beginning to reopen its economy . Starting May 16, the state government hopes to allow restaurants, gyms and hair salons to open if they're able to follow certain safety procedures.

Where is my COVID-19 stimulus check?- Marketplace
Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET is the deadline for taxpayers to provide their banking information to the IRS if they want to get their stimulus payments by direct deposit instead of a paper check.
The IRS has already disbursed 130 million payments totaling about $200 billion to taxpayers as of last week, which leaves about 20 million Americans still waiting.
Beverly Steward says it seems like everyone she knows has already seen that stimulus money hit their bank accounts. But when she logs on to the IRS portal to check on hers, “it says we have no information at this time.”
Twitch CEO Emmett Shear: 'People need to connect online' - Marketplace
As people look for more pastimes in order to, well, pass the time, streaming services and video games are having a moment. And then there’s Twitch, a platform that combines the two.
Twitch is best known as the place where people can watch other people play video games in real time. In the age of social distancing, more people than ever are tuning in.
“We’ve seen a pretty significant increase in usage,” said Twitch CEO Emmett Shear in an interview with Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal. “It’s a 57% increase for the four weeks post-social distancing versus pre-social distancing.”
This may worth something:
Does measuring inflation matter during a pandemic? - Marketplace
Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts out the consumer price index. It's a number that measures the change in prices consumers are paying for common goods and services. We learned Tuesday it fell by 0.8%, the biggest drop since the Great Recession. But in a pandemic world, what's the value of measuring inflation when everything seems to be in flux?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics deploys a team of window shoppers every month to check prices of things Americans buy regularly. A loaf of bread, coffee beans and even vodka. And those prices? CPI data show they've gone up as we cook more at home because of the pandemic. But then there's everything else. Take gas, which fell more than 20%.

Docket, a platform for organizing meeting agendas and notes, wins Zoom’s Marketplace App
Interestingly, Zoom just announced the results of its Marketplace App competition, with Docket taking first place.
Docket was founded in January of 2019 with a mission to bring common sense to meetings. The company claims that more than 70% of meetings, both in-person and remote, happen without an agenda circulated before the meeting begins.
Docket starts from the premise that every meeting should have a prioritized, circulated agenda and then kicks it up a notch. The platform allows you to build and share that agenda, as well as take notes on meeting minutes and decisions made to share those after the fact. Docket also has a Task Manager feature, so users can share action items after the meeting to the folks that need to get things done.
'Plandemic,' the marketplace of ideas and why I don't unfriend people on Facebook
There's a name for this: the marketplace of ideas. This theory holds that, if all ideas and viewpoints are allowed to be freely expressed, the public will naturally weigh each idea's respective merits and superior ideas will ultimately win out in the court of public opinion. John Stuart Mill in “On Liberty” in 1859 wrote that:
The only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind. No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.
