Show Notes

In today’s edition of “The Commuter Cut,” we break down what’s behind the large number of job losses in the latest jobs report with Dr. Daniel Hamermesh, an emeritus professor of economics at the University of Texas, who also explains what this means for Houstonians.

Next, we hear from Oliver James, a literacy activist, motivational speaker, and influencer, who shares the story of his struggles with adult illiteracy before making the decision to learn to read and how TikTok played a role in achieving this goal.

Plus, we learn all about the local non-profit Keep Houston Beautiful, with Alan Steinberg, a volunteer board member for the organization, who discusses how they tackle their mission of cleaning up the city, and what individuals can do to help.
