The Business News Headlines & More 7 September 2023

It's the Thursday Edition of the Business News Headlines and we kick things off talking about tourism and Hawaii. Thanks for being with us and make sure you click ahead for a conversation about a hyper-local event that just may give you and your community an idea of how to structure a fun weekend for the citizens of your town. My guests are Lauren Campbell and Susan Skeries who sit on the Windsor Heights, Iowa City Council and head up a volunteer group known as The Special Events Committee. You'll not only learn a bit about our community of 5,200 people but also our impact on the greater Des Moines Metro of 700,000. If you want to reach us on social media and 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:

• Don't stay away, come to Hawaii and why;
• The sexy Victoria's Secret event has changed and why;
• Gig workers are increasing in number but, there is a but;
• A big change in Minnesota when it comes to drivers licenses;
• Want a good job? Stop applying yourself and do this instead;
• What mortgage rate will move buyers and sellers? We'll share;
• The Wall Street Report;
• What low jobless numbers mean moving forward.

For the interview you'll meet Lauren and Susan and their efforts to bring to life the second annual Windsor Heights Fall Fest. What's the benefit to the community and the larger Des Moines Metro?  We'll visit about that and more. To hear that conversation, click this link.
