On today's show, for the first time, an American pope,
a Soviet-era spacecraft is expected to come crashing down to Earth,
and why many non-coastal cities are sinking.
But first, we are in the height of graduation season.
In fact, this year's graduating class is expected to be the largest in history,
and millions of young people will be entering the workforce for the first time in the next few weeks.
A recent survey found many are pretty optimistic about finding a job.
83% said that they think it'll happen shortly after graduation.
37% predict that it'll happen within four to six months.
And only 5% said that they think it'll take them a year or longer.
Rachel Barber is a money and economy reporter at USA Today.
She told us about this survey from the job site Monster and Harris Poll.
It checked in with more than 1,000 recent and soon-to-be grads.
Most feel confident that they're qualified for an entry-level role,
and 20% even said that they feel overqualified for an entry-level position.
Their confidence in the job market has been backed up by recent economic reports.
Job numbers were strong in April, beating expectations.
