Des Moines Register: Executives at furniture manufacturer HNI Corp. said they couldn’t hire enough workers or get enough supplies at a low enough price this summer, leading the company to earn less money than leaders hoped. The Muscatine-based multinational company on Thursday downgraded its earnings outlook for the quarter that closes at the end of this month. The company said profits will be down 25-35% compared with the same quarter last year.
