After four years of economic downturns, there’s finally some good news: in the past 3 months, 650,000 workers aged 16 to 24 have found jobs.

Mike Munger, political science and economics professor at Duke University, and Danielle Richard, a 24-year-old cyto technologist in Rhode Island, talk more about this promising economic news.
