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

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Allysia Finley, Michael Smerconish

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
