In Review: Week of April 13th, 2020. The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was evident across a wide-range of the U.S. economy in the latest week, as data for a variety of sectors was released.

This was an increase from 3.7% […]

Unfortunately, this number will only get worse, as the figures were derived on the 12th of March or earlier, so the […]
