Description

Coming out of the Great Resignation and the tight labor market, some employers are saying that it’s finally getting a little easier to hire.  Especially when we look at the hospitality and healthcare industries, employers are having a better time at recruiting and getting people to accept offers.  Uber, which has rebounded with drivers, said they think inflationary pressures motivated more people to drive for the platform.  Chip Cutter, workplace reporter at the WSJ, joins us for how inflation could be bringing more people to the workforce and causing less turnover.
 
Next, an interesting story about how a mother and her daughter are facing criminal charges after the daughter had an abortion in Nebraska.  In this case police obtained their Facebook messages through a search warrant.  In Nebraska, 20 weeks is the limit to have an abortion, and the teen at the time had it some weeks after. The pair contracted with another man to bury the body after the baby came out stillborn.  Jason Koebler, editor in chief at Motherboard, joins us for how this case highlights how tech companies could be enlisted by law enforcement to prosecute these cases.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
