We’ve been asking our listeners this week about their relationships with their jobs. One thing that’s touched a nerve is the question of far young workers are willing to go to find good opportunities. Many younger listeners told us they were open to taking a risk and moving somewhere new, but it just wasn’t a decision they could afford to make. However we did also hear from more than a few listeners who did manage to take a leap. Takeaway listener Michael Bird left his home in Colorado Springs in search of better opportunities in Oklahoma City. Also joining the show from Bridgewater, Massachusetts is Takeaway listener Cody Hullist.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
