Marketplace Morning Report for Tuesday November 11, 2014

You know those door-buster sales after Thanksgiving? They're nothing compared to the online buying that happened in China today. More on the record-breaking shopping extravaganza known as "Singles Day." Plus, U.S. military veterans who served since September 11th have a harder time finding work than the general population. 7.2 percent are officially unemployed, compared to 5.8 percent for non-veterans. On this Veteran's Day, we take a look at just one program that tries to help veterans with not just jobs but good, career positions.
