PODCAST: Federal contractors get a raise

Plus: the "Internet of things" at CES and a look ahead at 2015's big tech stories.

First up, federal contract workers will get a raise this year, making $10.10 an hour at minimum, but it’s tough to tell how many of them will actually see a bump. Then: The so-called Internet of things – connected objects in the home, like soccer balls, appliances and  locks – reached a turning point last year, and it’s poised to be huge in 2015. We look at the first bellwether: the Consumer Electronics show. Finally, Marketplace Tech host Ben Johnson chats about the big tech stories to look for in 2015.
