We are always changing the way we work. But in the last decade, improvements in technology and communications, combined with companies’ increased ability and inclination to outsource, have conspired to make radical changes to work in America. In the newest issue of the Marketplace Reader, we partnered with the New York Times Your Money section, we look at Work in America Today.

How it works

The Marketplace Reader is  an interactive e-book we’ve built combining some of Marketplace’s best radio reporting with all the advantages of a long-form, multimedia digital magazine. You can read, listen or interact with our great stories and interviews on your own time, online or offline, on your iPad or iPhone. And it’s just the latest of many ways you can experience the voices and personality of Marketplace on your mobile device.

To get the most out of your Marketplace Reader experience, activate the multimedia “Extras” before you start reading. To do that, click the “Extras” icon or tap on your device screen.

The extras include audio clips and full-length interviews, Google Maps, related web links presented in an in-app browser, PDF documents, and video. You’ll see icons for these extras spread throughout each chapter. Click on the “Extras” icon to turn off the extras to read without interruption.

If a chapter is available as audio as well as text, you will see an Audio Book icon appear in the toolbar. Click play to listen. As the audio plays, the page will automatically scroll in unison so you can read along as you listen.

We hope you enjoy this new format as much as we enjoyed creating it for you. And please, share your feedback so we can improve and evolve it with each new issue.
