The Business News Headlines 5 October 2023

We kick things off today reporting on a sluggish session on Wall Street.  Why so sluggish? Investors are anxious about the non-farm jobs report that is due out tomorrow morning. Why? If the job market remains hot it's likely the Fed will continue to raise interest rates.  Why is that? Take a listen to find out.  Meanwhile, 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:
