Today we learned that the U.S. added 390,000 jobs. Wall Street was hoping for much less… It’s the business news headlines for Friday the 3rd day of June, thanks for being with us everybody. This has been quite a week and we've felt it here.

- Headed toward a recession or...not?
- Acquiring Kohls is, well, complicated;
- The Wall Street Report;
