The Daily Money 6-18

Happy Thursday night, money readers. David here, switching up our usual routine with an evening round-up of the day's biggest news. I'll be back Friday morning with our regular morning edition. 

Let's glance back at a busy day.

June-what? Fewer white Americans will ask 'What is Juneteenth?' after many of the most influential companies in the U.S. opt to make the date a paid holiday this Friday. But will NFL, Nike, Twitter and other corporate celebrations make a difference?

Clean hands but ... A southeast Ohio couple who sold hand sanitizer on Amazon for 11 times the cost got sued by the state attorney general. The pair charged $39.44 for 8-ounce bottles of Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Refreshing Gel, which cost $3.53 on Amazon prior to the pandemic.

Unemployment: Another 1.5 million Americans filed initial jobless claims last week amid the coronavirus pandemic, even as states allow businesses to reopen.
