PODCAST: Cellphones in schools

The December jobs report, cell phones in NYC schools, and a wrap up of CES for 2015.

252,000 new jobs were added in December, according to the Labor Department. More on that. Plus, New York City is poised to lift a ban on cell phones at schools. We look at the impact – the ban created a mini industry around phone storage – at some schools, kids had to leave their phones in vans parked outside. What happens to those businesses now? And reporter Nova Safo has a wrap up of this year’s consumer electronics show.
