Teva Pharmaceuticals赢得了FDA的监管批准，成为Mylan的EpiPen的第一个通用竞争对手。在2016年之前，Mylan的紧急过敏药物的价格在10年内臭名昭着超过400％，促使制药公司以一半的价格推出授权仿制药。竞争对手预计将进一步低估品牌版本，尽管传送设备的设计已被证明是模仿者的障碍。

Competitors are expected to further undersell the branded version, though the design of the delivery device has proved an obstacle for imitators.

在过去的三个月里，餐馆的消费以创纪录的速度飙升。 7月销售额增长1.3％至616亿美元，导致三个月的年化收益率为25.3％。一种解释是，美国人将减税现金用于外出就餐，而另一种解释是菜单价格上涨，因为餐馆会抵消最低工资和租金成本的上涨。

Spending at restaurants has soared at a record pace over the past three months. Sales rose 1.3% in July to $61.6 billion, leading to a three-month annualized gain of 25.3%. One explanation is that Americans are spending cash from tax cuts on dining out, while another is the increase in menu prices as restaurants counter a rise in minimum wages and rent costs.

密苏里州选民拒绝禁止私营部门工人强制征收工会会费，这被视为工会的胜利。共和党立法者通过了这项立法，但在工会成功申请公民投票后，它被搁置了一年多。

Missouri voters rejected a ban on the mandatory collection of union dues among private sector workers, in what’s being seen as a victory for labor unions. Republican lawmakers had passed the legislation but it was held off for more than a year after unions successfully petitioned for a referendum.

在类似于租金控制的举动中，美国将向同意限制租金上涨的公寓业主提供低成本贷款。该计划于周二由全国最大的贷款支持者房地美（Freddie Mac）宣布，该计划立即在全国范围内公布。贷款期限的租金上限，接受该计划的业主必须有至少50％的单元，可以让当地收入中位数或以下的家庭付得起，并且租金在租赁期内保持不变。

In a move akin to rent control, the U.S. will offer lower-cost loans to apartment owners who agree to cap rent increases. The program, announced Tuesday by Freddie Mac — the country’s biggest backer of the loans — is available immediately nationwide. Rents are capped for the life of the loan, and recipients must have at least 50% of the units affordable to households making the local median income or below.

通用汽车公司与底特律的亨利福特健康系统合作，为员工制定了直接的健康计划。通用汽车底特律地区的非工会工人可以使用该计划，与目前最便宜的产品相比，每年可以节省900美元。如果符合成本，质量和劳动力健康等目标，通用汽车将额外付款奖励亨利福特。沃尔玛，迪士尼和英特尔等其他公司也做出了类似的交易，这些交易跳出了公司通过保险公司工作的传统计划。

General Motors has teamed up with Detroit’s Henry Ford Health System on a direct health plan for employees.

GM will reward Henry Ford with extra payments if it meets goals for cost, quality and workforce health. Other companies such as Walmart, Disney and Intel have made similar deals, which deviate from traditional plans in which companies work through insurers.

父母通过给孩子们送礼物来哀悼Toys “R” Us的损失，这也可能给玩具行业带来了不错的推动。 2018年上半年，该行业的销售额增长了7％ - 由价格在5美元至20美元之间的玩具推动。今年早些时候，标志性玩具零售商的消亡导致销售大增。据CNBC报道，其他零售商计划在即将到来的假日季节投入更多空间并携带更多玩具。

Sales in the industry increased 7% during the first half of 2018 — driven by toys priced between $5 and $20. The sales bump follows the iconic toy retailer's demise earlier this year. Other retailers plan to dedicate more space and carry more toys in the upcoming holiday season, according to CNBC.

华盛顿恢复了对2015年国际核不扩散条约下暂停的德黑兰贸易制裁。伊朗被禁止使用美元，实际上禁止该国进行国际金融交易和石油购买。特朗普总统表示，他对“更全面的协议”持开放态度，该协议也涉及伊朗的导弹测试和政治活动。欧盟公开反对制裁，告诉与伊朗开展业务的欧洲公司有效“无视”该命令。

Washington restored trade sanctions on Tehran that had been suspended under an international nuclear non-proliferation treaty in 2015. Iran is prohibited from using U.S. dollars, effectively barring the country from international financial transactions and oil purchases. President Trump says he’s open to a “more comprehensive deal” that also addresses Iran’s missile testing and political activities. The EU spoke out against the sanctions, telling European companies that conduct business with Iran to effectively “ignore” the order

陷入困境的订阅服务MoviePass将很快将其客户一天一部的限制改为每月三部电影。 MoviePass还表示不再计划增加每月订阅的成本。尽管大多数客户不会受到影响，但最近的努力是为了稳定服务的最新努力：85％的人每月最多观看3部电影。上个月，MoviePass在用完现金和被大部分影院停止使用后不得不购买紧急贷款。

The beleaguered subscription-service MoviePass will soon limit its customers to three movies per month, down from one per day. MoviePass also said it no longer plans to increase the cost of its monthly subscriptions. The cutback is the latest effort to stabilize the service, although most customers will be unaffected: 85% watch at most three films per month. Last month, MoviePass had to take out an emergency loan after it ran out of cash and stopped working in most theaters.

富国银行在一份监管​​文件中透露，近400名的客户由于软件故障导致抵押贷款无法修改，从而被错误地收回房屋权。该银行拨款800万美元来补偿那些因故障而受影响的人。本周早些时候，在与美国司法部的另一项和解协议中，富国银行同意支付21亿美元的罚款，用于发放它知道基于虚假收入信息的贷款。

Nearly 400 Wells Fargo customers lost their homes when they were wrongly foreclosed on after a software glitch denied them mortgage modifications, the bank disclosed in a regulatory filing.

根据消费者破产项目的一项新研究，年龄在65岁及以上的美国人申请破产的次数是1991年的三倍。虽然现在所有破产申请人中有12.2％是65岁或以上（1991年为2.1％），但婴儿潮一代的老龄化并没有造成如此显着的增长。根据该报告，唯一的解释是结构性转变，例如等待更长时间的社会保障福利，雇主提供的养老金被401（k）储蓄计划所取代，医疗费用增加和收入下降。

Americans aged 65 and older are filing for bankruptcy three times as much as they were in 1991, according to a new study from the Consumer Bankruptcy Project. And although 12.2% of all bankruptcy filers are now 65 or older (up from 2.1% in 1991), the aging of baby boomers doesn't account for such a significant jump. The only explanation is structural shifts such as waiting longer for Social Security benefits, employer-provided pensions being replaced by 401(k) savings plans, greater medical costs and declining incomes, according to the report.

美国发展最快的零售商是爱尔兰服装公司Primark。折扣零售商正在逆转整个美国零售店关闭的趋势，并且在体育和娱乐零售商Bass Pro Shops，家电零售商Build.com和亚马逊 - 排名第四之前，已经超过全国零售联合会年度热门100强榜单。根据Hot 100，Primark--自三年前开业以来已有9家美国店 - 从2016年到2017年销售额增长了103％。

据Axios报道，现在职位空缺比失业人员多。 Axios说，建筑和卡车运输等行业正在努力招募千禧一代 - 尽管大多数人都能很好地支付并提供出色的福利 - 因为这项工作在身体上或精神上都很苛刻。年轻工人正在避免建设，因为许多企业不愿意提供培训计划，很少有美国人想从事农业工作。

There are now more job openings than people unemployed, reports Axios. Industries such as construction and trucking are struggling to recruit millennials in particular — even though most pay well and offer excellent benefits — because the work is physically or mentally demanding, says Axios. Young workers are shunning construction because many businesses aren’t willing to offer training programs, and few Americans want to work in agriculture.
