The end of pandemic unemployment benefits - a podcast by Marketplace

Federal pandemic unemployment benefits have now expired. Happy Labor Day? That means no more unemployment benefits for gig workers and the self-employed, no more extra $300 a week and no more extended benefits for people who’ve been unemployed for a long time. What will that mean for the labor market going forward? Plus, the NFL season starts Thursday, and a lot of fantasy football leagues are having their drafts over this holiday weekend. There’s a lot of money on the line: The global market for fantasy sports is expected to grow to over $22 billion in 2021, according to Research and Markets.
