A July jobs report that saw 1.8 million new jobs created and a lowering of the national unemployment rate comes amid negotiations in Washington over a second stimulus package. However, the pace of hiring appears to be slowing as more states slow down or roll back their reopenings. CBS News senior business analyst Jill Schlesinger joins "CBS This Morning: Saturday" for what this all means, and what the numbers say about the future of the U.S. economy.

Millions lose health coverage during pandemic

In this installment of Eye on Money, "CBS This Morning" takes a look at how the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic is not just costing jobs, but leaving millions of Americans without health coverage. More than 50 million people have applied for unemployment since the pandemic began, and nearly half of U.S. workers get their health insurance through work. One study found that an estimated 5.4 million American workers lost their health insurance in just three months. Michelle Miller reports, and CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger joins the show to discuss coverage alternatives and what Americans who lost their coverage can do.
