Episode 4: Making the Case for Manufacturing

The loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs at the beginning of this century — a rate of loss exceeding that of the Great Depression — has shaken our economy, our politics and our very confidence in the American way of life. Just as U.S. manufacturing began to rebound, a pandemic lifted the curtain on deep challenges related to trade policy, global supply chains, education, automation and our ability to produce skilled workers. Made in the USA explores these topics through exclusive commentary from world-class economists and manufacturing leaders, and shines a spotlight on the past, present and future of American manufacturing.
