Black Friday lures shoppers out at the crack of dawn with its flash discounts on all the latest technology. But a new study shows that nearly a third of those deals aren’t really deals at all. Medora Lee explains.

Trump's tariffs and you

The tariffs President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose on imports from Mexico and Canada would significantly increase U.S. inflation next year and modestly curtail economic growth, Paul Davidson reports.

On Monday, Trump vowed to slap all goods shipped to the U.S. from Mexico and Canada with a 25% tariff and all Chinese imports with a 10% levy on his first day in office, Jan. 20. In a social media post, Trump said his aim is to pressure the countries to stop the flow into the U.S. of illegal drugs and immigrants who lack permanent legal status.

Here's how those taxes might affect consumer prices.

As Betty Lin-Fisher reports, more workers are doing the same thing.
