Published: Sept. 10, 2020, 8 p.m.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Dr. Jack Rasmus, economist, radio show host, & author of 'The Scourge of Neoliberalism,' to discuss the unemployment crisis plaguing the country, why chronic under-reporting of joblessness tends to make the government's unemployment figures so unreliable, and why optimistic economic reports which come while so many Americans struggle reveal an increasingly out-of-touch corporate media.
