It’s Monday morning and that means it’s time to check out what’s on the Agenda for the week ahead. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. May Day protests are planned in New York, the Bay Area and elsewhere. Meanwhile, the release of the April jobs report on Friday will provide an important picture of the status of the recovery. Christine Fair, professor at the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University, and Charlie Herman, economics editor for The Takeaway and WNYC Radio look at what’s in store for the week.
