In this final installment of the Dig Deep podcast on jobs Chuck and Aaron look ahead.  Is the model of job creation outdated?  Who should be creating jobs and how much should people be paid?  These are all questions that guide this conversation.

Our commentators are Aaron Brown from  the Iron Range - he's an educator, author, blogger and host of the Great Northern Radio Show.  Aaron provides our liberal perspective on our topics while Chuck Marohn is a conservative commentator from Brainerd who is the founder and CEO ofStrong Towns.
