Summary

Episode 751: Neal and Toby chat about one year’s worth of data of NYC’s congestion pricing. And so far, it looks pretty promising. Then, companies that opened their doors for applicants coming from all over have reverted back to seeking those coming from elite colleges, thanks to a slower job market. Also, Americans, particularly Gen Z, would rather pump some iron than do cardio. Meanwhile, Toby dives into the trend of a shrinking love for pizza across the country.
