b'Today\\u2019s guest is someone for whom I had the privilege of working when I was first in New York City working as a junior reporter at Money Magazine, and there my guest Jon Birger was a senior writer. And so it is with great pleasure that I introduce him today on the show. Jon is the recent author now of the newly published book \\u201cDATE-ONOMICS: How Dating Became A Lopsided Numbers Game.\\u201d He explains the shortage of college educated men for every heterosexual woman out there, what he calls the \\u201cman deficit\\u201d, and it\\u2019s not that he\\u2019s just not into you \\u2014 well there\\u2019s just not enough of him, he explains. And in the book Jon further goes on to talk about why this is the case, examining a combination of demographics, statistics, game theory, and good old number crunching. And good news, he offers some solutions for his female readers who wish to get married. Like which college to attend, if you\\u2019re young enough, where to hang out and where to live in order to meet Mr. Right.In addition to his book, Jon is a contributor to Fortune Magazine, as well as a freelance journalist who\\u2019s work has appeared in The New York Times,The Washington Post, Time, Barons, Bloomberg Businessweek, among many others. Prior to his work as a freelance journalist, Jon was a senior writer at both Fortune, and as I mentioned, Money Magazine. You may also recognize his name because he\\u2019s had numerous radio and TV appearances for this book, ranging from MSNBC, to CNN, to NPR, Good Morning America, and most notably in 2013 the Silicon Valley Trade Group \\u201cAlways On Network\\u201d names Jon a power player in technology business media. So, he is a hard-hitting journalist on top of an author of a wildly popular book.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
