We all know the word unemployment, and too many of us are experiencing it right now. This podcast will discuss what goes into unemployment, the politics behind it, and how corona virus has put us in a situation that is unlikely to fix itself without strong government action. We discuss the potential for both Federal Jobs Programs and National Service, among other possible fixes for our unemployment disaster.

When we hear about "the economy" in the news, it is usually the macro-economy, focusing on the stock market, GDP growth, inflation and unemployment. But that is really only the economy from a 10,000 ft view. The "REAL" economy is the economy as it is felt by real, everyday human beings. People who work for a living, and can't count on investments and huge salaries or stock options. The real economy has been getting worse for decades, and the current coronavirus pandemic is highlighting a lot of these problems.
