That's just a sign of demand for these bonds because they're willing to accept these yields that are not that much higher than what you can get on government bonds.
And government bonds are essentially guaranteed to not default.
Even though the gap between these two yields on corporate bonds and treasuries is small, you're still getting a pretty high yield on corporate bonds relative to what you can get in other parts of the world.

up over a billion dollars since the previous year.
What impact overall have apps had on American gambling as a whole?
