The Business News Headlines 18 June 2024

A quick reminder that tomorrow (June 19) is Juneteenth in the U.S. which means federal offices, the postal service, banks and Wall Street will be closed. In addition many businesses and communities in the U.S. have adopted tomorrow as a holiday. Us? We're off tomorrow as well but we'll be posting interviews that will run throughout the day. 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:

• The issue of medical debt and credit reports kicks us off;
• The headline is a bit misleading. Talking about May retail sales;
• Some major union news to share with you;
• Manufacturing in the U.S. surged another interesting bit of data;
• The Wall Street Report;
• And, Apple take a "pause" and why.

Thanks for being here!
