It's the Ides of March!
Perfect time to look at the workforce!
But much like Caesar getting senate approval, it's not easy to make a change if employment's what you seek. NEPM Senior Reporter Nancy Cohen shares a story about the digital divide as it applies to employment and western Massachusetts.
This, of course, then inspires Monte and Kaliis to test their own digital skills, and the resiliency of recruiting websites for themselves. You may be surprised by their results.
The Word Nerd, Emily Brewster leads us into arguably the most fun portion of the Merriam-Webster building: the dungeon...we mean basement. It's where they keep the fun words and sometimes the ones in time out.
And, inspired by our work with words this week, Kaliis suggests a few word based games of varying mediums as Nerdwatch makes a brief, but triumphant, return.
