That sluggish job market is no more, said Mark Brostoff, associate director of Undergraduate Career Services at the business school.

DiFranco's latest one of her greatest

·

Ani DiFranco's latest, Knuckle Down, is a traffic jam of emotion. As usual, she drives the album home by moving the listener with two instruments — her voice and guitar. Of the 17 self-released albums on her Righteous Babe label since 1990, it's not a stretch to call this one the urban folksinger's strongest to date.
