Kai Ryssdal: I want to pick up with something that you raised the last time we had you on, and it was the idea of centering Black women in this economy as a way to help everybody, in essence, was the way you explained it. I wonder if now, three or four months later and an election and all that we’ve gone through, are you seeing signs that Black women are being centered in this economy any more than they had been?
Ryssdal: You know, it’s interesting you pulled out the Black women unemployment rate because one of the things you and I talked about the first time you were on the program was using disaggregated data instead of just the headline numbers, as so often happens.

"Canceling a relatively small amount of debt could go a long way for helping struggling borrowers and people of color in particular," he said.
Natalie Bachas, an assistant professor of economics at Princeton University , said there's not necessarily a correlation between the amount of outstanding debt and a person's ability to pay.

Is a deeper dollar slump ahead as vaccine nears? - Marketplace
The U.S. dollar is at a 2½-year low . In other words, it's slipping in the global popularity contest among investors. This slump is pandemic-related.
Investors use the U.S. dollar as a safety blanket when there's a crisis and they're scared. They pile their money in from around the world, and the value of the dollar goes up. This happened early in the pandemic. But with three solid vaccines on the horizon, investors aren't so scared anymore.
