COVID Lockdowns Make Rich Richer
California’s wealthy elite have been doing very well during the coronavirus pandemic, despite economic shutdowns that have devastated small businesses and caused widespread job losses and disruption. With Today's ALG Minute, I'm Catherine Mortensen. The Associated Press recently reported: At the end of 2020, California had lost a record 1.6 million jobs during the pandemic.
