- The U.S. is facing record-setting job openings, with restaurants, hotels and retail facing huge labor shortages. Meanwhile, employees are hopping to new jobs in search of better pay, personal fulfilment or work-life balance.

The Daily
June 4: Day X, Episode Two – The case of Franco A, the German military officer accused of terrorism charges, has come to represent something investigators are increasingly worried about—that Day X is a call for action, a pretext for terrorism, or worse, a coup. That’s why prosecutors say Franco A picked the targets that he did. In this episode, Katrin Bennhold, the Times’ Berlin bureau chief, speaks with two of those alleged targets.
On Point

Arts and Culture
Time Machine from The Current
Time Machine from The Current is a sonic journey across music history. Each week, host Bill DeVille takes listeners back to the sounds and events of a specific year.
June 11 – 1982:
The year Bruce Springsteen went back to the basics with his Nebraska album. Duran Duran emerged from across the Atlantic with their debut album and Prince dropped his biggest album yet while Grandmaster Flash brought Hip Hop to a new audience. Marvin Gaye made the blueprint for slow jams, final albums came from Roxy Music and the original English Beat, and The Clash had a hit in the states.
Outside the world of music E.T was the top film and 60 Minutes was the number one T.V show. The sitcom Cheers hit the small screen and Time’s Man of the Year was The Computer. You probably played video games, may have tried to breakdance or moonwalk, and you might have found a Jane Fonda workout video tape in your Christmas stocking.
