oster, if you're a parent what data should you be relying on?> so we're just starting to get in data from schools. i would say that the initial data we're seeing is actually fairly reassuring. so we have data now from about 150,000 in-person kids. and we're seeing rates of about 1 in 1,000 in two weeks. that means in a school of 1,000 kids, we're seeing one infection on average over an entire two-week period. the rates in staff are a bit higher but still pretty low. i think that's really the data people need to look at is actually what is happening in terms of spread in schools. and i think we have to be a little careful with how we portray this in the media. the fact you started with closing schools in brooklyn and queens actually they were very clear that they are not closing schools because of outbreaks in schools, they're closing schools because of general positivity rates and in fact they haven't seen outbreaks in schools even though a lot of the private schools have been opened for weeks and weeks and weeks. i think we have to be careful a

emily oster is an economist and dr. lena we know, thank you and emily, thank you. emily, begin. little to do here because i want to learn as much as i want to lead. what do you see in the data that gives you confidence about kids being back in school? >> so let me just first, chris, amplify the first thing that you said, it's shameful that the people collecting the data are people on my team and not the federal government. what we are doing is we are going in to schools and asking had them how many kids do you have, we are tracking their covid cases. and what we are seeing early on is i think somewhat reassuring so in our last two weeks of september data, looking at a couple hundred thousand kids in, in person school we are seeing rates that are like 1.5 cases in a school of a thousand, of that two week period. now, this data is very early and so i'm not really sure that i you can convince dr. wen, but i think it does start to suggest that maybe particularly lower prevalence places, we should be more aggressive about opening, perhaps especially with elementary school kids who ar

economy as part of ostering rebuilding and recovery, so in my remarks today want to emphasize three points. the first priority is that we need to deploy additional fiscal stimulus to support the u.s. recovery from the pandemic over the longer un strengthen automatic fiscal stabilizers. so, by way of background, the early phases of the u.s. sharp rebound a in aggregate demand. so we saw that in employment, in consumer spending. in business investment. other indicators. but, that was the good news. the bad news is that the partial has been only to date. or example, non -- payrolls in september were 11 million above their april trough, which is respects, but me nonetheless we're only halfway back. create or ed to re-create 11 million more jobs where we were in february. and the pace of recovery has so the september change in nonfarm payrolls was 600,000. as you can probably calculate in at that rate of increase it will take a very long time to create the millions nd millions of jobs we need to get back to full employment. that we can even count on this slower pace of improvement continuing. a
