The Business News Headlines 5 November 2024

It's finally here. Election Day 2024 and voter turnout, at least here in Iowa is huge. Poll workers are reporting record crowds and in Polk County, the largest country in Iowa thousands of people who did not vote two years ago have turned out over the past couple of weeks. If you're on edge take a deep breath.  We may not know the results for some time.  However congressional races may come more quickly. Me? A watch party this evening with a bunch of friends. Meanwhile,  if you want to reach out to us on social media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• Wall Street has a huge day;
• Here in Iowa a "ruby red" state may turn...purple;
• The Boeing workers are headed back to work;
• Labor unions have had a big run over the past two years;
