In the wake of the fraught 2020 presidential election, as many as 47 states are considering stricter voting laws. Georgia, which went Democratic in 2020, passed a law that imposes new voter ID requirements and limits ballot drop boxes, among other provisions that advocates say disproportionately curtail ballot access for Black voters. In response to these laws, a group of more than 70 Black business executives, led by Kenneth Frazier and Kenneth Chenault, is calling on companies to publicly oppose restrictive voting bills. Also on today’s show: all about that good jobs report, how side hustles are contributing to the growth of peer-to-peer payment apps and airlines might have a hard time finding pilots to hire as the pandemic ends.
