Marketplace Morning Report for Monday, August 3, 2015
Airing on August, 3, 2015: With the Athens exchange is due to re-open Monday — it has been closed for more than a month as Greece negotiated with creditors — we look at the effects of the exchange’s return to business. Auto sales numbers are also out Monday. June sales hit a high for recent months, but the greatest marketing scheme in the auto industry may be convincing people to lease, guaranteeing a repeat customer in two to three years. Plus, we’ve been hearing right through the recession and recovery that people are dropping out of the workforce. That is, except older people. For many middle- and working-class seniors, staying on the job well into one’s 70's is the only ‘financial plan’ left.
