I'm shifting to a new role still over here that I'm very jazzed about.

I'll be our special correspondent covering future effects, decisions now that shape our economic futures, a sleuth for consequences, if you will.

For instance, today we'll be reporting data likely showing that more than 20 million Americans were thrown out of work over the last four weeks.
