PODCAST: Raising the minimum wage, state by state

The president of the European Central Bank made the announcement this morning: interest rates are going to stay where they are at record lows. More on that. Plus, four traditionally red states voted to raise minimum wage: Arkansas, Alaska, Nebraska, and South Dakota. A non-binding increase passed in Illinois. So what could this mean for the president’s push to raise the federal minimum wage? And podcasting’s audience is growing along with its profits. And while some of the most successful podcasts have come from the public radio world, a podcast network that’s based in Northern California, is doing *extremely well … thanks to advertisers.
