Rent is due on Sunday for millions of people around the country, for the eighth time since the pandemic began, and many don't know if or how they'll be able to pay.
In the last six months, around 18% of renters have missed at least one payment , according to the most recent Marketplace-Edison Research Poll, and experts estimate that between 30 and 40 million people are at risk of eviction — or will be once they are no longer protected by an eviction moratorium. That could happen soon.

Editorials: RTD Opinions is a marketplace of ideas -- ours, yours and theirs | Editorial |
This election, RTD Opinions has been clear in our support of the constitutional amendment that would change the way Virginia draws legislative and congressional districts. The measure would establish a bipartisan commission that would create the boundaries, shifting control from the General Assembly. We've written numerous editorials over the past two years urging lawmakers, and now voters, to pass this much-needed reform.
On our daily op-ed pages and Sunday Commentary section, we've published columns from contributors echoing our endorsement of the amendment. But we also have printed columns from opponents, who contend it's not good for Virginia. Add to this mix Letters to the Editor urging both support and defeat.
Are political betting odds more accurate than the polls? - Marketplace
Election Day is just four days away, and as Americans head to the polls, people in other parts of the world are placing bets on who they think is likely to win the White House. While election betting is illegal in the U.S., it’s not in the U.K., where the sector has seen a growth in demand . In fact, their staples of horse racing and football have been overtaken in popularity by betting on politics.
Joe Lee, head of political betting at Paddy Power, one of the biggest bookmakers in the U.K. and Ireland, spoke to the BBC’s Victoria Craig on the global edition of the “Marketplace Morning Report.” Below is an edited version of their conversation.
Parks face COVID cuts even as more people head outdoors - Marketplace
On a fall Saturday at John Bryan State Park in Southwest Ohio, the Weinkauf-Arnold family looked like a group of hiking pros ready for an adventure. The five kids spotted tadpoles in a river, climbed onto big rocks and hiked past a waterfall.
But the truth is, this is relatively new for the family. Their once-busy schedule of school and dance practices came to a halt when the pandemic hit. Mom Wendy Weinkauf-Arnold wanted to find a safe way for her kids to get out of the house.

Some might say that she is a little obsessed with food. Lo would say she is A LOT obsessed with food. After all, she has been cooking, eating and enjoying food for decades and has no plans to retire anytime soon.

Etsy Became the Go-To Marketplace for Independent Makers During the Pandemic
One thing's clear about the pandemic's DIY boom: No one's buying their intro to knitting syllabus on Amazon Handmade.
They're going to Etsy. Revenue at the home of the bridesmaid font more than doubled to $451.5 million YoY in Q3, outpacing Wall Street's estimates. Similar gains were the common thread across its earnings quilt.
Short-term advantages: Heading into the holiday season , Etsy customers know a hand embroidered fanny pack isn't stitched and delivered overnight—meaning delivery delays plaguing other retailers won't faze them.
Holiday shopping is here, and will be mostly online - Marketplace
Every year, it feels like retailers are starting the holiday shopping season earlier and earlier. Well this year, because of the pandemic, it actually will be starting earlier. At least that is what retailers are hoping for.
You may give and get presents, but here's something you probably won't do in 2020: “You won't be lining up at 4 o’clock in the morning with thousands of other people,” said Bill Thorne, senior vice president at the National Retail Federation.
Why upgrading voting machines is important for election integrity - Marketplace
Voting machines in the U.S. are largely built and sold by private vendors. And like with any market, there are big, established players, and then there are newcomers, like the San Francisco-based VotingWorks , a nonprofit that uses open-source software in its voting equipment.
But beyond the software, VotingWorks tries to use more off-the-shelf, standardized components in hopes that states and cities will be able to upgrade their aging voting equipment while not spending too much money.
