Marketplace Morning Report for Monday, Feb. 23, 2015
Airing on Monday, Feb. 23, 2015: Late Friday, the European Union granted Greece its extension to its financial lifeline. In return, Greece needs to immediately write down, sign and hand-in a list of financial reforms. More on that. Plus, the federal government spends about $150 million a year on education for neglected and delinquent kids. A big piece of this goes to residential juvenile justice facilities that house an average of 60,000 young people a day. This is a group that is required by law to get schooling, but critics say the record here is not good. We visit some juvenile justice facilities to looks at the role technology might play here. Plus, for some of us the recent run of freezing temperatures and snowstorms has made getting to work rough, a frustration, certainly an inconvenience. The lucky ones can work from home for a day or two, distracting cooped up kids with screen time. Some of us aren’t so lucky … even when public transportation has shut down and all the cabbies stay home. We reports on how workers and their employers slog through these cold weeks.
