If you make car parts, you’re in manufacturing. If you’re a farmer, well, you’re in agriculture. If your work doesn’t produce a physical thing? You’re probably working in the services sector.

And so are 80% of American workers.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
