There is a lot of discussion about "affordability," especially regarding young Americans' ability to buy their first home and achieve financial stability. A key step in achieving that American dream is getting a good job, but the problem is that getting that job has become harder, especially for Gen Z. Economic growth is being driven by productivity and investment in artificial intelligence, rather than by hiring. This is creating what some call a "jobless boom" in some industries. Translation: the job market is very competitive. Suzy Welch, a Professor of Management Practice at NYU's Stern School of Business, and author of the book Becoming You, joins FOX Business' Lydia Hu to discuss the state of the job market and how to navigate it.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood and most essential sectors in American agriculture.Julie Anna and Mark dive deep into leadership under pressure, listening as a strategic advantage, the emotional reality facing farmers, the political climate in Washington, and the staggering downstream economic impact of the meat industry.From charged conversations on Capitol Hill to the intimate challenges faced by rural families, Julie Anna offers a wide-angle view of what's happening inside the industry — and what leaders must understand moving forward.Whether you're a farmer, agribusiness professional, policy follower, or simply someone who enjoys a good steak, this episode brings clarity, context, and truth to the national conversation around meat, health, policy, and the future of American food.Key Takeaways1. Intentional Leadership Begins With ListeningFor Julie Anna, intentionality means being fully present — removing emotion from tense conversations, holding space for others, and grounding decisions in shared facts. In an industry full of pressure, listening is the leadership edge.2. The Meat Industry Touches Millions — More Than You ThinkThe Meat Institute represents operations responsible for 95% of U.S. red meat. The industry's economic footprint reaches millions of jobs, from packers and processors to equipment suppliers, truckers, retailers, and food service. The value chain is far deeper than most realize.3. Americans Aren't Turning Away From Meat — They're Buying MoreDespite headlines suggesting otherwise, over 98% of shoppers buy animal protein, according to “The Power of Meat” report. Demand remains exceptionally strong across beef, pork, poultry, and specialty meats.4. The Industry Is Under Attack — But It's Not AloneJulie Anna discusses the cultural, political, and activist pressures placed on meat production, drawing parallels to historical attacks on other animal-based industries. But she also highlights the unified, cross-industry collaboration happening in Washington to protect farmers, ranchers, and processors during a time of economic uncertainty.5. Food Security and Protein Access Are National PrioritiesMark and Julie Anna discuss the critical role of food banks, the protein gap in America, and the innovative work of organizations like Hatch for Hunger. Refrigeration alone can determine whether a family receives high-quality protein — an issue far more widespread than most realize.6. Washington Is Listening — But the Landscape Is ChangingFrom tariffs to “Make America Healthy Again,” to environmental policy, both the current and past presidential administrations have influenced agriculture differently. Julie Anna offers a rare insider's look at what's happening inside the Beltway — and what it means for the future of farm country.Notable Quotes“Being intentional starts with listening — truly listening — so people feel heard.” – Julie Anna Potts“We serve 98% of American households.

The Eastman Kodak Company is ready for its closeup. The 130-year-old film company made big moves this year to bulk up its balance sheet and push into a brand new field - pharmaceuticals.

It has been talked about — and meme'd about — all year: Generation Z is struggling economically. They're being priced out of the housing market, having trouble finding stable jobs, and are saddled with significant debt. And while President Trump performed well with young voters — winning 46% of Gen Zers last year, including 56% of young men — in 2025, there appeared to be a shift to the left. Throughout the year, we saw more signs that Zoomers are embracing socialist-leaning views. The surge of progressive candidates, like Zohran Mamdani — who won last month's New York City mayoral race — reflected a focus on “affordability” and policies such as free bus service. According to a Gallup poll released this past September, young adults generally — but especially younger Democrats — are cooling on capitalism. Only 31% of Democrats under 50 now have a positive view of it, compared to 54% in 2010. FOX News' Kaylee McGee White joins FOX Business' Taylor Riggs to break down why Gen Z is rallying around socialist ideas — and what can be done to help young people achieve the American Dream.

Studies show more students are arriving at college unable to do basic math, forcing even top universities to offer remedial classes. This is alarming to some because it reveals flaws in our education system and raises concerns about whether America's college graduates will be ready for the workforce. College admissions expert and author Jeff Selingo joins the Rundown's Jessica Rosenthal earlier this week to talk about why test scores are falling, an increasing number of students requesting "special accommodations," and what all these trends tell us about our K-12 school system as well as America's colleges and universities. Selingo also explained why he says technology, legislative changes, “grade inflation,” and other factors have led to what some call an education crisis. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Jeff Selingo.
