The little engine that did … shake up the Exxon boardroom - a podcast by Marketplace

Activist hedge fund Engine No. 1, pushing for a change in Exxon Mobil’s climate strategy, got enough support from other shareholders to win at least two seats on the oil and gas company’s board. These types of challenges from activist investors tend not to get far.

And, a study on the need for better, higher-paying jobs for young women as the pandemic recession recovery continues.
