The Business News Headlines & More 8 July 2019

Welcome back to a full week of work...for many of us the mid-week holiday put a kink in our productivity. But, hope you had a great time with family and friends. It was a rocky day on Wall Street to open the week as investors deal with the Fed and tech companies had a tough day.  In other headlines:

• Employee unrest at Amazon continues;
• So how strong are the ties to the Chinese military;
• It's about profit says this bank...profit;
• States are actually falling apart and we're not talking earthquakes;
• Employees spending hundreds each month to avoid co-workers;
• Got...gas?

Those stories plus Laura Kinnard from Drake University, DMACC and DMBizMixer.com on social media, the big deal with curating stuff, retail trade and business events in the Greater Des Moines Metro this week. You can catch that right here!
