Times are tough on Wall Street and Main Street. But our economic woes probably look different to an investment banker than they do to a factory worker. How should we measure success as the government tries to get the economy back on track? We look at how the media is covering the state of our economy, and whether any important pieces to the story are being missed.

For decades, women made less money than men, even as they began to make up a bigger part of the workforce. These days, there's debate about whether that wage gap still exists, with some experts arguing that young women in big cities now make more than their male counterparts. But others say wage disparities are merely more insidious than in the past. Join Kojo as we look at wages, the work-life balance, and other issues confronting women in the modern workplace.
