Marketplace Morning Report for Friday December 5, 2014
Aired on Friday Dec. 5, 2014: The November Jobs Report is released Friday. We look at what the figures tell us about the present state of unemployment and the the economy. Plus, the US Postal Service is out with a new stamp honoring Wilt Chamberlain. It’s another move toward the marketing of celebrity and popular culture stamps, as a way to boost sales. We examine that trend. And all this week, Our Wealth and Poverty Desk has been bringing us stories about gentrification. And as we find out, when old businesses get new landlords, that can lead to some very difficult conversations.
