Back with the business news headlines for this the 29th day of August and we're feeling it in the air that lots of you are already planning ahead for a long labor day weekend.  We kick things off today with a couple of data points that moved Wall Street and a reminder for you to click ahead for an amazing conversation about how you can become a better leader by becoming an "active listener". Our guest is Ro Crosbie from Tero International with some solid tips. Meanwhile, to reach us on social media if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• Fewer open jobs and fewer people quitting and why it matters;
• Consumer say they are worried about the economy;
• So, why are they spending on big time vacations?

For the interview we'll share tips on how to become a more "active listener". It would seem that the advice we got as kids in the form of "Shut up and listen!" may not have been the best advice. Here Ro Crosbie the Founder, President and CEO of Tero International share with you some very effective tools to help you better engage, lead and understand. Plus something we found interesting for non-profits and charitable organizations...the gift of education. To listen to that conversation click this link.
