RNC, DNC tell different stories of the U.S. economy - Marketplace

Alan Rappeport: Well, so the RNC last night, I mean, it was very much a story of American prosperity and putting President Trump at the center of that. It was very focused on sort of the pre-pandemic world and pre-pandemic America. And it sort of put him at the middle of that, painting him as the sole person who was capable of kind of bringing back the United States economy to those heights.

What trucking can tell us about economic recovery - Marketplace
There are plenty of economic indicators that tell us what's been happening in the economy, such as housing starts, retail sales, and first-time applications for unemployment.

"Just randomly, constantly, asking for cargo," Whelan said. "'Do you have anything, do you have anything, do you have anything?' One, I think, was like two or three times a day."

How schools are providing mental health services during pandemic - Marketplace
All summer, Patrick McCauley answered mental health hotline calls from his home. He finally traded out a workbench for a real desk, though he still sits on a camp chair — “a little makeshift, but it works,” he said.
McCauley is a social worker with the Los Angeles Unified School District. The district set up the hotline shortly after schools closed in the spring. As schools around the country are starting to open up — in person, with a hybrid model or remotely — it's not just academics and COVID-19 that officials are worried about. They're also worried about taking care of students' mental health, and they still have to figure out how to pay for it.
