  • U.S. Manufacturing Is In A Tough Spot, And It's Not Because of Trade Policy

    U.S. Manufacturing Is In A Tough Spot, And It's Not Because of Trade Policy
    Apr 11 2025
    Lots of talk about trade and tariffs lately - but this conversation has a different focus than all the rest. Allysia Finley's op-ed in hte Wall Stret Journal caught Michael's eye this week: "A Good Man for U.S. Manufacturing Is Hard to Find." It circles back to the conversation about how young men's behaviors are changing due to a variety of social factors - and they are not taking these good paying jobs in factories that are open. Michael talks with Finley about the changing workforce. Original air date 11 April 2025.
