The Business News Headlines and Four Entrepreneurs 2 May 2025

We start off our newscast with the surprising story about how many jobs were created in April and that number had an impact on the stock market. Welcome to the Friday Edition of the Business News Headlines for the 2nd day of May.  Thanks for being here. In other news, home ownership is slipping away from many Americans. As energy demand goes down so to do oil company profits. Microsoft jacks up the price of it’s xBox. We’ll share the Wall Street Report with you and Wendy’s has some concerns about the economy and what they did.  Also today you’ll meet four entrepreneurs all with a different story. I took some gear the Valley Junction Farmers Market and chatted with some very interesting folks.  Stay with us for that and while it sounds hyper-local what they have to say resonates with entrepreneurs everywhere.  Let’s go.
