We keep being told that the economy is great. It’s true that unemployment is at a near half-century low, and inflation is also low, but if the economy is so good, why do so many people feel financially insecure? Bob talks about all of this and more with guest Dr. Carl Van Horn, an expert on employment issues and the founding director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.
