Today, we’re doing the numbers on the latest national jobs report. Women got the majority of jobs gained in November. We’ll explain why this isn’t a total win. Plus, Iowa traditionally holds the first Democratic caucus, making the state superinfluential during election seasons. But that’s all about to change. And, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty! Here’s everything we talked about today:

• • “DNC moves forward with dramatic change to presidential primary calendar” from Politico
• • Tweet from @BetseyStevenson about the jobs report
• • “Why Are Middle-Aged Men Missing From the Labor Market?” from The New York Times
• • “November Jobs Report: Strong Job Growth Continues, But There Are Hints of Weakness” from the University of Michigan
• • “The Big Problem With Spotify Wrapped” from Wired
• • Tweet from @TheDailyShow about World Cup spectators yelling at each other
• • “Black Twitter has been a cultural engine. Where will that community go if the site breaks?” from Marketplace
• • “Amazon Plans to Invest $1 Billion a Year in Movies for Theaters” from Bloomberg
• • “Why Japan’s winning goal vs. Spain was awarded by the VAR after the ball appeared to go out” from ESPN
• • “Pepsi wants you to drink soda mixed with milk this holiday season” from CNN Business
