According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, at least 1.8 million
Americans have been actively looking for a fulltime job for more
than 27 weeks. That’s over six months. In this episode, two
people tell us what it’s like to navigate a never-ending job
search. Plus: A surge in lone star ticks threatens the cattle
industry, McDonald’s keeps huge amounts of data on frequent
customers, and the national debt passes that $40 trillion
threshold.
