Wrapping up day 3 on the job @WFTV. I couldn’t be more excited to get started reporting 📝🎙
I’ve been in the city for just about 2 weeks now and am looking for the best spots in town for cafecito! Anyone have suggestions?!?

- Replying to @sabrinaWFTVHe says it could be time to up wages. "The minimum wage is at a very low level in many states. That's an issue with people going back to work, especially if they switch from doing a job that maybe was well paid before, and that's unavailable." (In Tn that minimum is $7.25)

- Replying to @sabrinaWFTV"You have to step back and look at this on a macro basis, there's still many people still out of work, and the economy is not back enough for them to get a job.

He studies unemployment and says it's important to remember that despite "anecdotal cases," their are not enough jobs to support the people receiving unemployment benefits. @BLS_gov says that number is 9.7 million.

00:00 - Replying to @sabrinaWFTVTHREAD (2/3): The congresswoman’s response, “I guess it was a slang word. You can actually look it up in the dictionary. There is a definition that means ‘stupid.’ But it’s not about people with Down Syndrome... I do apologize for that being offensive to anyone.”
