For the second month in a row, Americans spent less. More on that. Plus, Massive Open Online Courses [MOOCs] will be discussed in California today at the leading online course provider Coursera’s annual conference. A likely discussion on the agenda: the growth of corporate MOOCs. And many cities across the U.S. are trying to become the next Silicon Valley. The word “startup” is often thrown around as these towns try to compete in today’s global economy. In Minneapolis, there’s even an effort to attract young talent by pushing for a regional name change. 

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you.
