Diane Swonk joins us right now.
Diane, just a 60,000-foot question for our listeners, those with a job, those with Google stock options and the Google 100-year piece, and those flat on their back across America.
How K-shaped are we this morning?
Paul, I was just going to say for your weekend reading, it's not Friday, it's Wednesday.
That's binging you here, folks, I believe is Dr. Swank.
That's Kevin Warsh binging Diane Swank right now.
Kevin Warsh is saying to Diane, we need to talk right now.
Diane, one of the things here, and I'll pick on a city that I know is really having trouble, Alexander County, Illinois, 6% unemployment rate.
Southern, southern Illinois has really struggled.
How do you synthesize, Diane, with all your decades of work, the easy gloom path versus observing the vibrancy of the American economy?
I mean, the media and Tom Keene are really, really good at going out and finding a 6% unemployment rate and saying, OMG, the world's going to end.
But there's an America that's vital out there.
How do you balance that after this report?
Diane Swank, thank you for your work.
