  • CBS News Radio Labor Day Special 2025 - Hour 2
    Aug 29 2025
    On the Labor Day Special from CBS News Radio, host Gil Gross examines with former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty how the requirement for college degrees is excluding the majority of the work force from being even able to apply for jobs. Rometty pioneered an effort to eliminate the need for college degrees from one half of all jobs at IBM, down from 95% when she started her tenure. Rometty found that a skills-based emphasis was a better predictor of job success for many positions compared to a college degree. We will also hear about surprising and amusing first jobs of some of our favorite celebrities, from Bob Newhart to Denzel Washington. Then, David Ewalt, Editor-in -Chief of Scientific American, examines the threat to actors and studios posed by Artificial Intelligence. Finally, Economic Analyst Jennifer Sherer contrasts the increased interest from workers for organizing with the obstacles installed to hamper laborers from enrolling in Unions .
