The Business News Headlines and More 4 August 2023

Welcome to the Friday Edition of the Business News Headlines. You're just a click away from some of the top business news stories of the day, a look at what happened this week on Wall Street and a very interesting conversation about Sista Soul Fest an event created by entrepreneur Loretta Windsor. This story is really more about economics and women than it is about a festival. A programming note: We're back on News/Talk 1540 KXEL on Sunday, Noon Central and, yes, we stream. Click ahead for the business news headlines and, if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• The job market cooled but, there is a but;
• Amazon is doing just fine, thank you very much;
• Jobs to Wisconsin and we'll share where and why;
• A gas pumping story out of Oregon;
• Oh, the high price of...pizza turns off consumers;
• The Wall Street Report;
• Could this one thing be the answer to the tight labor market?

For the interview you'll meet entrepreneur Loretta Windsor the founder of Sista Soul Fest now in its fourth year. This conversation is so much more than hyping a festival. This is really about the economics of women and women of color who are attempting to clear a very high hurdle when it comes to economic equality. To listen to this conversation click this link.
