Synopsis
The Jobless – The prospects of finding a job in America in the time of the virus has become increasingly daunting. Scott Pelley reports on job seekers who the pandemic prevents from sharing a handshake and a smile with potential employers. Where Does the Money Go? – Some farmers affected by the pandemic shutdown were already hurting. They lost their export market to China in retaliation for trade war tariffs and then watched most of the U.S. trade relief payments go to the largest farms. Lesley Stahl reports. The State of Texas – Texas, like other states, is beginning a slow, gradual re-opening of business. But health care providers in rural areas tell Sharyn Alfonsi if COVID-19 outbreaks get worse, their financially fragile health care systems could become overwhelmed or even close.
