The Business News Headlines 15 November 2018

The markets snapped a five day losing streak today on the hope that there might be some headway in the trade talks between the United States and China.  In other business news:

• A housing trend that we bet you knew nothing about but it is surging;
• Sen. Bernie Sanders and his bill to force Walmart to pay $15 an hour;
• Wells Fargo to cut 1,000 workers many in Des Moines, Iowa;
• Tesla cuts the price of their home solar units;
• What happened and why on Wall Street.

Those stories plus a conversation about the health of the rural economy and healthcare. Dr. Keith Mueller from the University of Iowa joins us for the ups and downs of the rural economy and why healthcare plays such an important part.

Then we're talking about another health care issue facing Iowa and many other states. Dr. Thomas Gruca joins us to talk about a new study about Physicians Assistants and their contribution to the current health care delivery model. He's from the University of Iowa Tippie School of Business and what he'll share may shock and surprise you.
