Summary
This week, we've been looking back at some of the major economic milestones since the U.S. was founded. Today, we wrap up our series by examining the past 50 years — including changes to how Americans work and who comprises the nation's workforce. Then, we look at what the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz has meant for Africa's economy. Plus, we discuss why so many people are drawn to the Grand Theft Auto franchise and what a shift to digital-only gaming means for the video game industry. Every story has an economic angle.
