Audiences get lots of choices. What do musicians get? We look at the self-promotional benefits and financial drawbacks of streaming music. Plus, lots of low-wage employees work long hours without extra pay because they’ve been classified as managers, and federal rules exempt managers from overtime if they’re paid more than $23,660 a year — a number that was set in 1975. The Labor Department is considering a rule that would raise the exempt level to as much as $52,000, restoring overtime to millions of workers.

Plus, amid a huge national push to get more low-income high school graduates to go to college, there’s a growing recognition that, for many students, short-term certifications or trade school may be a better fit. We check in with Oyler School in Cincinnati, where the annual “college day” has adapted to promote other paths to success. And Taobao, a subsidiary of the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is sponsoring same-sex couples who will come to the U.S. to wed.

Weakening state franchise laws could open the door to consolidation of the nation’s fragmented dealerships. More on that. Plus, with issues of racial bias in policing galvanizing protesters and motivating Justice Department investigations, we ask whether having more police officers of color would actually improve policing in minority communities.

We look at how these courts help veterans while saving jurisdictions the costs of incarcerating them.

Plus, a couple months back, we talked to a farmer in the Sacramento Delta with long-standing water rights.
