Everything Everywhere Daily - Innumeracy

Over the last several centuries, there has been a concerted effort to raise literacy rates around the world.

For the most part, although there is still work to be done, we’ve done a pretty good job. The vast majority of people around the world know how to read and write.

While literacy has improved, despite our world becoming ever more dependent on technology, overall mathematical literacy has not improved.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Today’s Job Market – Workers, Wages & Walking Away

With so much talk about inflation and a recession, it would seem like the entire economy is shrinking and suffering but really - the labor market is still going strong. Unemployment is at its lowest point in five decades and hiring has surged this summer, with the most recent jobs report exceeding expectations.

Brian Kropp comes back on the show to break down what’s behind the data and what it means for the future. He’s the vice president of research at Gartner, a consulting firm that advises business leaders around the world including the ones making the hiring decisions. 

He shares the most reliable way to make more money in *your* career and why some people still regret taking the plunge. Plus, what inflation is doing to your paycheck now and what many companies are doing instead of giving raises.

Focus on Africa - Deaths in protests in Somaliland

At least three people were killed in protests in Somaliland. But why was this normally peaceful territory engulfed by violence?

Also, Sierra Leone's main opposition APC says it is not responsible for deadly protests earlier this week. They blame the government's economic policies instead.

And we take the pulse of Kenya's parliamentary election results.

Planet Money - Carried interest wormhole

The carried interest tax loophole is a way that wealthy Americans – often the people who manage hedge funds or private equity firms – avoid paying billions of dollars worth of taxes. It has been one of the most controversial yet durable features of the U.S. tax code. But where did it come from? Today we romp through space and time to piece together the origins of this loophole. There will be pirates and mutiny. A 50s tax-dodge-a-palooza. And perhaps the Michelangelo of tax lawyers. | Subscribe to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.
