Economic Anxiety

In episode 1, we discuss economic anxiety and the many financial difficulties that young people face today. We talk to Gaby, a recent graduate from Florida, who struggles to make ends meet despite working two jobs. We also talk to Nancy Worth, a Canadian professor, who studies millennial precarity and believes that a number of structural issues must be addressed if young people are to find stable jobs and reasonably priced housing.
