The Business News Headlines & More 1 October 2019

Wall Street closed yesterday up on the hope of renewed talks between the U.S. and China and then...today...out came a report on U.S. manufacturing. That story and what happened on Wall Street opens up our first newscast of a new month:

• Manufacturing data weak...very;
• President Trump calls the Fed "pathetic";
• Facebook to sue the United States if Warren is elected;
• The "Wealth Tax" is back in the news;
• GM lays off thousands more;
• Amazon and NEW grocery stores;
• Amazon 3rd party sellers pay thousands to talk to a person.

Those stories and a look at what the top 23 employers in Iowa have to say about the economy moving forward. You might say it's a "mixed bag" in this interview with Georgia Van Gundy the Executive Director of the Iowa Business Council done for us by Jeff Stein the News & Program Director of News/Talk 1540 KXEL. Here is that story. 

Thanks for listening!
