Marketplace Special The Breakdown on WAMC
ALBANY, NY (08/18/2011)(readMedia)-- With economic news at the forefront of our listeners' minds, we can count on Marketplace to provide accessible, timely and relevant coverage during these uncertain times. This Friday at 7PM, WAMC Northeast Public Radio will be airing Marketplace special economic coverage to help understand what's happening with the economy.
Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal will ask the tough questions during The Breakdown, an hour-long special. How do we create more jobs? Is 9% unemployment the new normal? Marketplace Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch will discuss the major financial events from 2008 to now. New York Bureau Chief Heidi Moore will explain what is behind the drastic market swings. Marketplace will also report on the biggest impact of the economic crisis to individuals: joblessness.
