Podcasts about job losses

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

IAN UNPLUGGED 2508 022225On “Hey, Wassup?”, Jay & Sanchali speak with Sridhar Kotha about the consequences of the Trump initiatives to end the wars in the Gaza Strip and Ukraine and then turn to Gautam Sinha for more on the mounting job losses as Elon Musk and the DOGE chop more people and programs, and its rippling effects through the economy.

In a week, 230 New Zealanders were given confirmation Kinleith Mill was over. The Australians facing the same scenario at a place called Whyalla in South Australia did something completely different. The steel mill is owned by a British billionaire and it's in a world of financial trouble. It may well go to the wall. It employs 1000 people in a town of 22,000. So the state Government, backed by the Federal Government, has bought it. Even for a Labour Government in Australia it is an extraordinary move. But the assessment is, in a small town, you can't afford to lose that many jobs. They will look for a buyer, they will look for finance and they will look to rejig the place to solve the problem. But in the meantime, the place is open and the jobs are saved. The first question you ask, of course, is would this decision be made if it was not about a month or so out from an election, which is an election the Government who just bought the steel mill is in serious danger of losing? The precedent is also shocking. If you save one, surely you save them all? And if you don't, because you can't, the locals will, quite righty, ask why not? Also, the Government owning things in the long term has never really been a recipe for efficiency or success. As much heat as Labour got in the 1980's for selling the railways here, Helen Clark buying them back has hardly been one of life's great business decisions. In a small town though, at the pub or the dairy or the sports field, who cares? They've got jobs, the bills get paid, and the kids stay in the local school. They'll take it. Where the money came from doesn't really matter. As much as Shane Jones espouses the value of the regions, the region here still lost its mill. We still have the problem that is the price of power. It still hasn't been addressed as an issue, and we go into another winter with a mess of a system. In Australia the place is open, the jobs are saved and no one's leaving town. So, which approach is better? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They also frequently confuse this coverage with what is offered by Medicaid. Some are confused by Medicare ads being circulated right now to make plan choices. We are joined by our frequent guest, Medicare Insurance Broker Kaushi Shah, who will clarify these issues.4:50 pm Right after he was inaugurated, Donald Trump started issuing a stream of executive orders focused on changing the face of America. We asked our investigative reporter, Chetan Dave, to give us some background on what executive orders are, the authority behind them, whether they can be challenged, and whether there is a limit to how many can be issued.5:20 pm The abrupt slash and burn strategy that ElonMusk has used so far to chop the size of the federal government is reminiscent of what he did to Twitter after he bought it in October 2022 for $44 billion. It is worth only $9 billion now. Thousands are being laid off in an economy where oil and gas and IT workers are also getting the axe. We asked our investigative reporter, Gautam Sinha, to give us a ballpark estimate of how many people are affected so far by this turmoil.5:40 pm In another Executive Order playing to his rightwing base, over the phone, Trump abruptly fired the longtime president of the Kennedy center in Washington DC, Deborah Rutter, saying it was time to stop “woke” events presented there. In an unprecedented move, he then declared himself Chair of the 6-member Board.

Housing inventory is surging across Canada, with cities like Vancouver and Toronto seeing multi-year highs in new listings—Vancouver up 33% YoY (a 13-year high) and Toronto spiking 49% YoY (a 16-year high). This sudden jump in supply is driven by a mix of record completions, stricter tenancy laws, and struggling investors selling off properties due to rising mortgage costs and softening rental markets. Buyers, however, are staying on the sidelines, hesitant amid economic uncertainty, high borrowing costs, and the looming threat of tariffs, setting up a volatile 2025 housing market. In this episode, we break down these trends and explore whether demand will rise enough to absorb the flood of new listings—or if prices will continue their downward trajectory.At the same time, Canada's job market data is sending mixed signals. While official reports show strong job growth, deeper payroll data indicates three consecutive months of job losses, raising questions about the real state of employment. Long-term unemployment has doubled, permanent layoffs are climbing, and wage growth is slowing—all signs that economic hardship may be more widespread than headline numbers suggest. Historically, unemployment and mortgage arrears have moved in lockstep, and while arrears remain low for now, any continued weakness in employment could push more homeowners into financial distress, impacting the market further.Despite today's inventory surge, new home construction is already slowing dramatically, which could set the stage for a supply crunch in the coming years. In Toronto, new housing starts just hit a 30-year low, with only 51 new units (not buildings—units) started last month. In Vancouver, new home construction declined by 3% in December, the largest drop in three years, and detached home building permits are at their lowest level in 45 years. While today's market feels oversaturated, this drastic slowdown in development could lead to a severe housing shortage in 2026–2027, potentially driving prices back up just as they are starting to cool.With consumer insolvencies rising, job data inconsistencies, and supply declining in the long run, we could be witnessing the beginning of a major market shift. Will today's housing surplus be short-lived? Could government policies or economic conditions unexpectedly swing the pendulum in the opposite direction? Tune in as we break down the latest trends, challenge the mainstream narrative, and explore what's next for Canada's real estate market. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

A Clare hotelier fears widespread job losses in the hospitality sector will be unavoidable in 2025. It comes as Finance Minster Paschal Donoghue announced this week that any decisions on further reductions to the hospitality VAT rate won't be made until Budget 2026. It has already been confirmed that some sectors will see a reduction to 9%, however this will mostly apply to the food sector.

Young people continue to bear the brunt of job losses. The latest Stats NZ figures reveal the unemployment rate among those aged 15 to 19 hit 23%, the highest in more than a decade. The age group also lost more than 70% of the 32,000 net jobs lost last year. Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Reddell told Mike Hosking young people typically bear the brunt. He says it's never got below around 13% even when the economy is at its strongest. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Canada and the United States walked back from the brink of a full-blown trade war after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on products from Canada.While Trump has granted Canada a temporary 30-day "pause" on his threatened trade war, if he makes good on his threats, Canada's economy could be facing an apocalyptic scenario with food and gas prices skyrocketing, hundreds of thousands of job losses and communities across Canada getting hollowed out as key industries shut down.On this episode of Sources, DT Cochrane, Senior Economist with the Canadian Labour Congress, joins PressProgress Editor Luke LeBrun to explain how serious Trump's tariff threats would be on Canadian workers and why Canadian labour unions are calling on Canada to stand its ground and "hit back hard."Support the show

President Donald Trump is pushing ahead with aggressive new tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, escalating his trade war strategy, despite warnings from economists that it could raise prices for Americans and slow economic growth. Trump confirmed Thursday that a 25 percent tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada will take effect February 1, while also reaffirming plans to increase tariffs on Chinese imports by an additional 10 percent. However, he left room for adjustments, telling reporters the final details are still being worked out, including whether oil from Canada will be included. The president also signed an executive order directing federal agencies to develop an "America First" trade policy, including potential tariffs on all imported goods. He hasn't set a timeline for broader tariffs, but while the president claims the tariffs will strengthen the economy, history suggests otherwise. Learn more about your ad choices.

Treatment Action Campaign says more than 20,000 South African healthcare workers face potential job losses following the US government's cuts to aid funding for international development. The Community-led HIV and TB organization says US President Donald Trump's administration cut ties with NPOs after historically providing over R6.5 billion in aid in the fight against HIV, TB, and other diseases. For a look at how this decision will impact NPOs across South Africa, Elvis Presslin spoke to Treatment Action Campaign Director, Mark Heywood

The Police Commissioner says a loss of 17 executive-level roles will have no impact on Police delivery. Richard Chambers is opening consultation on a proposal to disestablish 37 executive and support service positions and create 20 new roles. He says a restructure will result in a stronger police leadership which is fit for purpose and delivers on his priorities. Chambers told Mike Hosking police executives are important, but there are too many of them. He says trimming the number will make those left more visible and connected.

The ANC Youth League will today picket outside the Minerals Council South Africa in Rosebank, Johannesburg, in protest against the retrenchment of mineworkers and other industrial job losses. The demonstration, In collaboration with the National Union of Mineworkers Youth Structure, seeks to pressure authorities to take immediate action to prevent further job losses and safeguard workers' livelihoods. The protest comes in response to ArcelorMittal's recent announcement to shut down its steel business, affecting its Newcastle and Vereeniging plants, as well as its rail and structures operation, which puts 3,500 jobs at risk. To discuss this further Elvis Presslin spoke to ANCYL President, Collen Malatji

Steel has many uses - including in the construction of buildings, bridges; cars; and so on… The Steel Industry is part of the Manufacturing Sector AND it CONTRIBUTES about 1.5% to our GDP. The Steel industry is the heart of the economy in Newcastle, KZN. One of the biggest steel producers in South Africa is called ArcelorMittal. And it’s decided to CLOSE DOWN the Steel Business in Newcastle and Vereeniging it’s called the Longs Steel Business. They had announced the intention to close it down last year already - But made a u-turn; after opposition of the decision, by a number of Stakeholders, including Unions that have been worried about JOB LOSSES. So the company HAD SAID that - it would work on, turning the business around. But clearly - that has proven, to be an extremely difficult task. ArcelorMittal HAS FALLEN DEEPER, into a loss making position, due to these major factors: Lower global steel prices and that means less revenue. They are also paying more for electricity and logistics. And then there’s, competition from lower priced imports, particularly from China. They’ve been in talks with Government, since 2023 - to try and create policies that would create fair competition between South African made steel AND imported steel - where imports don’t CANNIBALISE our home made steel. But they’re saying that NOTHING has come out - to STRUCTURALLY CHANGE the Industry FUNDAMENTALS. Steel Imports - what is bought by South Africa from other countries - have increased by almost 50% since 2018. But the Steel Exports - what we sell to other countries - have REDUCED by 40%.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paddy Gower has slammed “keyboard warriors” claiming the media is getting what it deserves for going “woke” amid mass job losses. TV3 journalist and TV host Patrick Gower spoke to Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking this morning following yesterday's Newshub meeting where the closure of Newshub was confirmed. Hosking asked Gower what he would say to those who say “you go woke, you go broke” and claim the media was bribed by the former Labour government. “Get stuffed, and actually go away and, to use the term they use, do your own research,” Gower fired back. Gower agreed the Public Interest Journalism fund had “branding issues” for media organisations because the public didn't understand where the money was going. “But at the end of the day, I'm not going to sit here and listen to sort of people like that say that kind of thing after I've slaved away my bloody life alongside my colleagues, 25 years in my case, putting damn good news out there. “While we've got a trust problem, we need to address it and explain things that we're doing properly. “When it comes to the sort of Facebook keyboard warriors, I ain't got no time for that, Mike. “I'm about the 250 people who lost a job yesterday and actually the millions of other Kiwis that I know that trust me and trust my colleagues.” Patrick Gower and colleagues on their way to learn Newshub's fate. Photo / Alex Burton Gower told Hosking he didn't know how many of the up to 300 people losing their jobs would remain in media. “Who knows? “I mean, even for myself, I've got no bloody idea what I'll do next.” Gower said he hoped a lot of his colleagues would remain in the field, but recognised it was a difficult time for the industry in New Zealand. “It's that simple, mate, not everybody can survive. “But we've got to be optimistic, we can't kind of give in. “I can say for myself, I'm determined to get back out there.” Hosking asked Gower how many of the employees likely saw the closure coming. “It was always a possibility when we came in under the big company, particularly Warner Brothers Discovery when they'd merged ... some sort of shutdown was always possible. “I've survived a couple myself in the last 14 years or we've been very, very close. “So it was always on the cards.” The state of the economy and the recession have had a huge impact on the media industry, Gower admitted. “We often talk about the big structural problems that are behind all of this, but, hey, let's face it, the economy has absolutely tanked, every single dollar virtually has dropped out of the advertising market. “People are really struggling, [advertising] is the first thing that goes when a business is struggling, everybody knows that. “That has just put insane pressure on all media companies.” Gower said he hadn't seen “anything” broadcasting minister Melissa Lee had done so far for the industry. “I haven't seen anything they've done, but at the same time, the media doesn't need a bailout. “So if anyone's talking about some sort of cash bailout, we don't need that. “The media does need to be able to survive commercially. There are ways that we can do that.” Gower said there are issues that both Governments, current and former, have not addressed that could have helped the media. “There are massive structural problems out there that I just don't think the Government's got their head around. “Paying these Kordia fees, television companies, paying fees to another government organisation for something that we don't really need anymore is just plain nuts. “It is crazy, that is literally jobs going out the door every time they pay those fees.” Gower confirmed his show Paddy Gower Has Issues was not funded by NZ on Air, so wouldn't be funded by TV3′s new model. “There's got to be other ways to do television programmes ... we've got to find commercially successful ways of doing this stuff. Stuff where things get paid for by viewers again. We've got to find a way back to that.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bleak outlook for the meat export industry with jobs and plants likely to go from next year.  Affco is predicting the loss of hundreds of meat processing jobs due to the country's shrinking livestock numbers.  The industry's forecasting 1 million fewer lambs to be available for processing next season.  Federated Farmers meat and wool industry group chair Toby Williams told Mike Hosking there's a couple of factors contributing to low lamb numbers.  “There's a slowdown in China who aren't taking as much sheep meat as they were.
