The Business News Headlines 21 March 2025

We start our Friday newscast with a story about job cuts at the Small Business Administration and we have to wonder, out loud, where all of these government workers are going to go and how these changes will impact the nation's unemployment levels that currently sit at 4.1%. Expect a spike.   A reminder that should you wish to to follow us you can find us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  And our website is just a click away where you can scroll through all of our newscasts. Here's what we've got for you today:

• SBA downsizes and where the cuts are;
• Free Eggs in NYC;
• A Midwest convenience store chain calls it quits;
• And they are not alone;
• Costco is trying something innovative about tariffs;
• Now FedEx is sounding the alarm on the U.S. economy;
• China has all but stopped buying some U.S. products;
• The Wall Street Report;
• And what?  Porn on Spotify?
