Episode 137, May 09, 2020, 06:07 AM

This, as coronavirus-induced shutdowns led non-farm payrolls to fall 20.5M in April, and the nation's unemployment rate to shoot to a Depression-era-level 14.7%. In February, before COVID19 was declared a global pandemic, the US unemployment rate was just 3.5%.
This week Elex Michaelson breaks down the latest reopening efforts, speaking with businessman Tom Steyer and celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck about the future of California, the restaurant industry, and more.
