Lady Liberty no longer a blob on Apple maps

Apple has put Lady Liberty back on her pedestal. After an update of the much-maligned Apple Maps application, a sharp image of the Statue of Liberty is visible in the map of Liberty Island.

Younger workers were more likely to be looking for a new job than boomers, the survey found.
