Economic Trend #1- rise in unemployment rate
(a) https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
(b) although unemployment is a horrible thing, it can create opportunities for those looking to buy property. As seen in the past, dramatic rises in unemployment causes consumers to have less spending money and therefore prompting a recession. Current unemployment rates just in the month of April increased to 14.7%.
(c) financially well off people regardless of current situation, as well as investors who are looking to buy houses
(d) This opportunity is relatively easy to exploit because if you have the means to buy a home you will be benefitted by the current and projected future decrease in house prices (specially in certain areas).
(e) I noticed this opportunity due to the amounts of friends and family that I see becoming unemployed or being put on furlough. I made the connection between unemployment and recession due to previous knowledge.

Economic Trend #2- stock market prices 
(a) https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/stock-market

(d) this opportunity is relatively easy depending how knowledgeable you are about the stock market and investing in it.
(e) I noticed this opportunity because of previous knowledge I have of how stock markets work.

(b) the CCPA "creates new consumer rights relating to the access to, deletion of, and sharing of personal information that is collected by businesses." (https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa) This can provide opportunities for the state of California and lawyers who can earn money from this.
(c) state of  California and lawyers

(b) if passed, this proposed regulation can provide opportunities in the hunting/fishing gear market, specially in the locations near these NWR locations.
(c) people who hunt and fish
(d) i think this opportunity is relatively easy to exploit because there's room to expand on technologies related to hunting and fishing.
