U.S. airstrikes against Iran/Jobs report/How did Groundhog Day start?

The U.S. has begun retaliating against Iran for a drone strike that killed 3 servicemembers. Today U.S. Central Command conducted airstrikes on 85 targets in Iraq & Syria. Who's behind the drone strike? What do they want, and how else might the US respond? (NOTE: today's episode aired just as the airstrikes were announced.)

The US economy continues to add jobs. Today’s report was stronger than some expected. So why don’t we feel better about the economy? And what jobs are in demand? Believe it or not, one job can pay up to $400,000 a year… without a college degree. And today was Groundhog Day. Turns out there are more meteorological groundhogs than you might think. Did the groundhog see its shadow? And where did this tradition come from?
