PODCAST: March jobs report and our National Parks Service
A surprisingly weak jobs report this morning has investors and economist rethinking our economic recovery. According the the Department of Labor, only 126,000 jobs were created last month — half what economists had expected. More on that. Why Nevada’s Supreme Court is facing a funding shortage?
