Marketplace Morning Report
The U.S. is home to 1.4 million immigrants from El Salvador, a poor Central American country with a total population of just 6 million people. These immigrants work physically demanding, low-paying jobs that are often hard to fill – especially as janitors.

APM Presents special of the week
California Love: K-Pop Dreaming – Moon Night
Air Window: Now – May 31, 2024
K-Pop Dreaming host Vivian Yoon takes us to an American military neighborhood in Seoul in the late 1980s. Tucked in an alleyway was a little grimy club that blasted American hip-hop, the place was for African American GIs to cut loose, but it pulled in an unexpected crowd – young Koreans who would become the pioneers of modern K-pop. Itaewon was also the setting for the beginning of another story – it was the place where Vivian’s parents met and fell in love. Features Kang Won Rae, one of K-pop’s legends that came out of the Moon Night scene.
