The business cycle is getting less cyclical
Expand, slow down, contract and recover. Businesses tend to make decisions based on what stage of the business cycle the economy’s in. The problem is, that doesn’t work so well anymore. We’ll get into it. Also: The hot U.S. dollar causes trouble overseas, college grad unemployment is up, and what other food programs can learn from WIC.

Many states are making it easier for homeowners to subdivide their single-family lots. But those with space to spare may not know how to develop it. Now, new companies are offering cash for the land.

고급 시사 영어 리스닝 최고의 선택
영어 리스닝을 위한 좋은 팟캐스트를 찾는 분들께 강추합니다.
미국에서 공부한 친구가 강추해줘서 알게됐는데 한국에선 덜 알려진거같아요.
진행자와 리포터들의 영어 스피킹 속도가 다르지만, 대체로 약간 난이도있는 수준이어서 집중해서 공부하기엔 좋습니다.
내용도 최신 뉴스와 경제, 시사 관련 소식들이어서 도움도 많이됩니다.
무엇보다 평일에 매일 업데이트되고
분량도 충분하고 내용의 질도 아주 좋습니다
