Young people are bearing the brunt of pandemic job losses over the last year.
We take a closer look at who is working and who isn't as the economy continues to face challenges from COVID-19 and its fallout.
Plus we explain just what has been happening with so-called "meme stocks" recently.
Why has the hottest stock been a video game store that was flirting with major challenges just a few weeks ago?
Finally we follow the money when it comes to international remittances from the Filipino community. Despite the pandemic, the amount of money sent from Canada to the Philippines was relatively unchanged in 2020.
We talk to members of Calgary's Filipino community to find out how remittance works, why it matters — and why the amount of money hasn't gone down.
