It's the Business News Headlines for Tuesday the 13th day of August and yes, the Great Iowa State Fair is still going on...we have not yet made it however but there are record setting crowds. The photo here is from the 2014 Iowa State Fair with my friend Duane Murley of AM 540 KWMT fame. First up today is yet another story about inflation and the all important Producer Price Index. Also today you'll meet Heidi Kroll the entrepreneur who created the non-profit Community Hand Up and why this is such a great service for so many families who are simply not "poor enough" to get assistance. Meanwhile, if you want to reach out to us on social media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too. Here's what we've got for you today:
- The Producer Price Index and inflation;
- A big shakeup over at Starbucks;
- But, there is a big...BUT;
- Home Depot is worried and why;
- The Wall Street Report;
- Forget high prices McDonalds wants to focus on nostalgia.
For the interview you'll meet Heidi Kroll the founder of Community Hand Up. Her story is all too familiar. Single mom working low income jobs making enough money to not qualify for assistance. So, what do folks do when their car breaks down? Heidi has an answer. It's a good story and thanks for listening!
