The Business News Headlines 12 April 2024

Before we dive into the Business News Headlines from today the 12th day of April a quick comment about a three hour meeting we had over lunch. It's the re-launch of "Out to Lunch" which is an idea I stole from CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and his podcast "Take Out". (That's us in D.C. last may when I fessed up.) My two lunch guests were Ken Chester the creator and host of the nationally syndicated show "Tech Mobility" as well as Jeff Stein the News and Program Director for News/Talk 1540 KXEL a 50,000 watt station based in Waterloo, Iowa. We spent plenty of time talking about what we do, how we do it and who in the world is listening.  We'll air that segment soon.  Meanwhile here is what we have for you today:
An awful day and week on Wall Street
Immigrants, jobs and the U.S. Economy;
Consumers and the economy? A quick report;
The future of U.S. Steel is...sealed;
The Wall Street Report;
Even mediocre CEO's do pretty well when they...leave.
