Liz Willen Dear reader,

No matter how you are faring during these difficult days, pause for a moment to consider the plight of child care providers, who are struggling to keep their businesses alive. Without them, working parents are lost, and yet many families could well find their child care centers closed when they return to work, according to an investigation ([link removed]) we published this week with USA Today.

We also took a look at how college seniors are coping as they face a dismal job market ([link removed]) , and consideredlessons from ([link removed]) the last recession. Week after week, you can find all our coronavirus stories ([link removed]) here. We wish you good health – and remind you that we love to hear from readers.

Liz Willen, Editor
