Updated 6:08 am CDT, Thursday, July 5, 2018 BEIJING (AP) — The Latest on the trade dispute between China and the U.S. that may result in the two sides each imposing higher duties on billions of dollars' worth of each other's exports. (all times local): 7:00 p.m. The Communist Party newspaper Global Times has taken the U.S. to task for threatening to raise tariffs on billions of dollars' worth of exports. In a sharply worded editorial Thursday headlined, "Washington cannot contain China's growth through a trade war," the newspaper suggested Beijing was bracing for a fight. It said, "If the US is determined to escalate conflicts with China, then so be it. Perhaps the Trump administration can only clear its mind after a fight."

Las Vegas casinos brace for possible workers strike
By Ken Martin Published May 23, 2018 Jobs FOXBusiness Facebook Twitter Comments Print article REUTERS/Richard Brian Tens of thousands of Las Vegas casino employees could walk off the job for the first time in more than three decades after union members voted Tuesday to authorize a strike at any time starting June 1. Continue Reading Below About 25,000 members of the Culinary Union who work at 34 different casino-resorts across the tourist destination cast ballots in two sessions, showing the collective power of the largest labor organization in Nevada.

‘A difficult pill to swallow:’ California’s housing industry is bracing for a new regulation that could make its affordability crisis worse
Akin Oyedele, provided by Published 2:07 am, Saturday, May 12, 2018 Justin Sullivan/Getty Last week, California became the first US state to require solar panels on all new homes. The regulation takes effect in 2020, and some economists warn that it could raise upfront purchase costs in one of America's most expensive housing markets. Homebuilder trade organisations supported the move, but also worked to find ways that would cheapen the burden for their members and homeowners. California's decision last week to require solar panel installations on new homes could worsen the affordability crisis in one of America's most expensive states, economists warn.
