I'm writing two different stories about unemployment and seek

unemployment rates by industry/occupation and why some sectors
are doing better than others. For this, I need experts in
economics, labor, and the most- and least-affected industries.
(The August jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics has
the data in one of the tables.) The second piece looks at the
slow reduction of people still on state unemployment benefits,
particularly in some swing states. This is based on some
in-house data analysis that I'll be happy to share with sources.
For this, I'd be looking for experts in economics, industry, and
politics, because I'll also look at the potential impact on the
presidential election.

pandemic? Why or why not?
3 Based on your experience with performance evaluations during
COVID-19, what advice do you have for others? What worked and
what didn't - and why?
