In essence, it’s a manifestation of the generally amorphous “marketplace of ideas.”
“Ideamarket is an entirely new income stream for creators, without dependence on ads or paywalls,” said founder Mike Elias. “Our goal is to liberate journalism from paywalls by giving [journalists and creators] an income stream dependent only on the trust they earn from their audience. This rewards journalists for publishing their best work for free, without paywalls.”

LinkedIn's Developing a New Freelance Marketplace Platform to Facilitate New Opportunities |
The new proposal looks to take this a step further, by actually facilitating connection and deals on the platform.
That could open up a range of new opportunities. One of the elements of the rising WFH shift is that businesses can now employ people from anywhere, they're no longer restricted by locality. And if geography isn't a limitation, then you can choose from a much broader pool of freelance talent, which could see more businesses looking to contract workers for more purposes.
New immigration bill would give some farmworkers faster citizenship path - Marketplace
Democrats officially introduced President Joe Biden's immigration bill in Congress Thursday. There is a lot in there: better technology for enforcing the border, a plan to process refugees in Central America before they get to the U.S.-Mexico border, and it would create a path to citizenship for the roughly 11 million unauthorized immigrants currently in the U.S.
That path would take eight years for these immigrants. But it would be faster for people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or temporary protected status — and for many unauthorized farmworkers.
Not to change the topic here:
Do looks matter for success in economics? Actually, they're pretty important. - Marketplace
Kai Ryssdal: So let’s get to the headline first, I suppose. How much do looks, appearances, matter in academic economics?
Galina Hale: So looks matter surprisingly a lot. It’s quite well known in the literature that in different careers, looks matter . We didn’t expect to find effects that large for academia because, you know, academics usually think of themselves as being above things like looks and, you know, being very objective. And, yeah, we were a little bit surprised by our findings.
Some local governments mandate hazard pay for front-line workers- Marketplace
Monday is Employee Appreciation Day at Daniel Gerson's job. He works at a major grocery chain in Maryland. As a token of appreciation, “they're giving us an in-app $10 coupon,” he said. “It’s insulting.”

“I've broken my back, you know, trying to pay bills with reduced hours and keeping safe,” Gerson said. “And this is the thanks we get after about a year of doing this.”
Almost a year ago, when the pandemic began, essential workers were hailed as heroes. Back then, many companies gave hazard pay, an extra $2 or so per hour, for coming in to work.
Wholesale marketplace Abound raises $22.9M – TechCrunch
Abound , an online marketplace that helps independent retailers stock their shelves with new products from up-and-coming brands, is announcing that it has raised $22.9 million in its first institutional round of funding.
CEO Bill Shope founded the company with Niklas de la Motte and Drew Sfugaras. He told me that small retailers are constantly on the hunt for new products, which means attending trade shows several times a year. Abound, on the other hand, allows them to find those products through an online shopping experience, with wholesale prices (a.k.a. discounts of up to 50%), free returns and, in some cases, Net 60 sale terms (meaning retailers don’t have to pay until 60 days after the invoice).
