On this edition of Parallax Views, the Left Business Observer's Doug Henwood, host of the influential radio program Behind the News, returns to the program to discuss Trump's tariffs, Bidenomics vs. Trumponomics, the legacy of the anti-WTO/anti-globalization protests of the late 1990s, and much more! Literally a half hour before Doug and I began recording Trump announced a 90-day pause on some of his tariffs. We'll be discussing what Doug sees as Trump's nostalgia about a romanticized 1950s America and how he believes that is driving Trump's policies in many ways. Doug talks about what he sees as the nonsensical nature of Trump's tariffs and how stocks shot up immediately after Trump announced the 90-day pause. Although sometimes there's more noise than signal when looking at the stock market, in this case the response of the stock market over the past week has reflected very real economic anxieties. He also notes that the bond market has been reacting strangely in the past week in a way that is worrying. Doug notes that we'll likely see prices increase in May and June and discusses the effect these tariffs will have on those at the bottom of the income distribution. All of this will factor into Doug's analysis of why he thinks Trump has announced a 90-day pause on some tariffs. We'll also discuss in-depth the pros and cons of Bidenomics and then look at that in comparison to Trumponomics. We'll discuss industrial policy, ways of bringing back manufacturing to the U.S. in a productive rather than destructive manner, and we'll look at the effect of tariffs on poorer countries like Vietnam or Cambodia. We'll also discuss how there's been a wide backlash against Trump's tariffs from across the political spectrum including libertarians like Thomas Sowell, CNBC's Jim Cramer, and even some protectionists. Doug Henwood sums up the backlash as being driven ultimately by the crudeness of the tariff policy. The conversation will also delve into Trump's romanticism about the 19th century U.S. economy, the legacy of the anti-WTO/anti-globalization protests of the late 90s, the potential of a pro-trade internationalism that isn't neoliberal and is informed by socialist or left-wing concerns, the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, the Biden team's failure to tout the positive aspects of Bidenomics, Trump's anti-libertarian streak, DOGE, the misanthropy of the Silicon Valley right-wing, comparing and contrasting the Ralph Nader and Donald Trump views on foreign trade, and much, much more!

What if the clean energy revolution isn't coming—it's already here, quietly reshaping global power, American manufacturing, and the way we heat our homes? In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with energy policy expert Kate Gordon to unpack the largest climate investment in U.S. history—and why most Americans barely noticed it. Together, they explore the ambitious trio of laws passed under the Biden administration—the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act—which together form a bold, strategic roadmap for decarbonization, domestic manufacturing, and energy independence. Kate walks us through the rarely-discussed connections between AI, electrification, and rising energy demand, the geopolitical aftershocks of Russia's war in Ukraine, and why our energy future hinges on the power grid, community investment, and supply chain resilience. We also confront the dangers ahead: environmental protections being rolled back, mass layoffs at the Department of Energy, and a growing political movement determined to unravel decades of climate progress. This is a conversation about what's working, what's under threat, and why the clean energy transition isn't just about science—it's about power, politics, and the future of democracy itself. Kate Gordon is an energy policy expert, and the CEO of California Forward, a statewide organization dedicated to a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive economy across every region of the state. Episode Chapters/Timestamps (00:00) Investments in Climate Change Mitigation The Biden administration's IRA includes transformative bills for clean energy, grid resilience, EV infrastructure, and semiconductor technology. (07:17) Energy Dominance Fracking's impact on U.S. energy dominance, European demand for American gas, and balancing fossil fuels and renewables for future energy needs. (12:47) Climate Investment Rollbacks and Tax Cuts Rollback of environmental protections, tension in clean energy projects, contradictions in domestic manufacturing policies, and lack of coherence in climate action.

New Era Helium CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to outline the company's strategic shift toward maximizing the value of its helium and natural gas assets in the Permian Basin to support the rapidly growing AI-driven economy. The company is positioning itself as a key player in behind-the-meter power generation, leveraging its resources to fuel high-performance computing and AI data centers. The company confirmed it remains on track to meet key production milestones while exploring an integrated energy strategy. Since 95% of the world's helium is found in association with natural gas, the company sees a unique opportunity to directly contribute to the AI industry's expanding power needs. Rather than selling natural gas as a commodity, New Era plans to utilize its Pecos Slope Gas Field to generate up to 70 megawatts (MW) of electricity for at least 20 years, supporting the rising demand for AI computing power. As part of this transition, the company's joint venture, Texas Critical Data Centers, has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire land in Texas for a planned 250MW net-zero AI and high-performance computing center. This move aligns with increasing domestic demand for helium in semiconductor manufacturing and AI applications, further accelerated by the CHIPS and Science Act. New Era Helium anticipates providing a formal update on its Pecos Slope processing plant soon, signaling further progress in its energy-focused strategy. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nehc #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #DataCenters #CarbonCapture #AI #Semiconductors #EnergyInnovation #NaturalGas #TechGrowth #SustainableEnergy
For market purists, any mention of the term industrial policy used to evoke visions of heavy-handed Soviet-style central planning, or the stifling state-centric protectionism employed by Latin American countries in the late 20th century. But that conversation turned dramatically over the last several years, as President Joe Biden's signature legislative achievements like the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act showcased policies designed to influence and shape industries ranging from tech to pharma to green energy. My guest today, Harvard Kennedy School Professor Ricardo Hausmann, is the founder and director of the Growth Lab, which studies ways to unlock economic growth and collaborates with policymakers to promote inclusive prosperity around the world. Hausmann says he believes markets are useful, but have shown themselves inadequate to create public benefits at a time when public objectives like the clean energy transition and shared prosperity have become increasingly essential to human society. In a wide-ranging conversation, we'll discuss why industrial policy is making a comeback, tools that the Growth Lab has developed to help poorer countries and regions develop and prosper, and the uncertainty being caused by President Trump's pledge to raise tariffs and protectionist barriers.Ricardo Hausmann's policy recommendations:Encourage governments to track industries that are not yet developed but have the potential for growth and monitor technological advancements to identify how new technologies can impact existing industries or create new opportunities.Develop state organizations with a deep understanding of societal trends and industrial potential, similar to Israel's office of the Chief Scientist or the U.S. Presidential Commission on Science and Technology.Encourage governments to develop a pre-approved set of tools—including training, educational programs, research programs, and infrastructure—that can be quickly mobilized for specific economic opportunities.Teach policy design in a way that mirrors medical education (e.g., learning by doing as in a teaching hospital), because successful policy design requires real-world experience, not just theoretical knowledge. Ricardo Hausmann is the founder and director of Harvard's Growth Lab and the Rafik Hariri Professor of the Practice of International Political Economy at Harvard Kennedy School. Under his leadership, the Growth Lab has grown into one of the most well regarded and influential hubs for research on economic growth and development around the world. His scholarly contributions include the development of the Growth Diagnostics and Economic Complexity methodologies, as well as several widely used economic concepts. Since launching the Growth Lab in 2006, Hausmann has served as principal investigator for more than 50 research initiatives in nearly 30 countries, including the US, informing development policy, growth strategies and diversification agendas at the national, regional, and city levels. Before joining Harvard University, he served as the first chief economist of the Inter-American Development Bank (1994-2000), where he created the Research Department. He has served as minister of planning of Venezuela (1992-1993) and as a member of the Board of the Central Bank of Venezuela. He also served as chair of the IMF-World Bank Development Committee. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from Cornell University.Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

On today's podcast: 1) President Trump promises golden age but warns tariffs could cause disturbance, President Trump defended his tariff plan, saying it would raise "trillions and trillions" in revenue and rebalance trading relationships, despite acknowledging potential economic pain. The president touted his tariff moves as effective in bringing jobs to the US, threatened to impose new tariffs, and announced plans for domestic energy production and an office of shipbuilding at the White House. 2) Trump calls for a repeal of the Chips Act. The president touted his tariff moves as more effective at bringing jobs to the US than Biden’s efforts, which included the Chips and Science Act and its billions in subsidies to spur domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Trump urged lawmakers to eliminate the Chips Act and said he would not give chipmakers any more funds from the law. 3) Job cuts are on the way at Disney. The Walt Disney Company is eliminating roughly 200 jobs across its ABC and entertainment TV networks, according to an internal memo. The majority of the cuts affect the ABC News division in New York. Production units including ABC News Studios, 20/20 and Nightline will be consolidated and the impacted employees will be notified on Wednesday, according to the memo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The global race for technological dominance is transforming how nations approach education and workforce development. In the U.S., the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act is a multibillion-dollar initiative to boost semiconductor manufacturing, counter China's influence, and drive economic growth. But what does this legislation mean for college students, higher education and workforce training? In this episode, Shalin Jyotishi, Founder of New America's Future of Work and Innovation Economy Initiative, unpacks the Act's impact on higher education and workforce development. He highlights its potential to meet the rising demand for skilled workers in high-tech industries by investing in education and training programs. Shalin also explores how the Act aims to strengthen community colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), supporting innovative training programs and fostering opportunities in institutions that have traditionally been underfunded in high-tech workforce initiatives. We also examine challenges such as recent funding cuts to the National Science Foundation, political shifts, and the complexities of industrial policy. Shalin underscores the need for stronger collaboration between colleges and industry to align education with market demands and prepare students for the high-tech jobs of the future.

L'Istat stima che il Pil italiano si appresti a chiudere il 2024 con un progresso dello 0,5%, la metà rispetto alla previsione del governo su cui è stata costruita la legge di bilancio, c'è da dire però che anche Istat aveva previsto a giugno una crescita del +1%. Il dato Istat si allinea a quello diffuso ieri dall'Ocse. Per il 2025 è invece atteso un progresso dello 0,8%, inferiore dello 0,4% rispetto a quanto indicato dal governo Meloni.Secondo l'Istat, l'economia italiana risente nel 2024 della debolezza della domanda interna, in particolare dal lato dell'offerta. La dinamica calante della produzione industriale, alimentata dalla debolezza della economia tedesca, principale mercato di sbocco delle nostre esportazioni e dalla crisi di alcuni comparti produttivi (automotive su tutti), spiega l'Istituto, ha inciso negativamente sugli investimenti fissi lordi e sulle importazioni.Per il 2025, pur permanendo le incertezze di natura geopolitica e i rischi legati a pressioni protezionistiche, si sconta invece una stabilizzazione della domanda mondiale e un leggero rafforzamento del commercio internazionale. I consumi privati beneficerebbero quindi del graduale, anche se parziale, recupero delle retribuzioni e della prosecuzione, pur se a ritmi meno vivaci di quanto osservato di recente, dell'occupazione.Il commento di Mario Deaglio, docente Economia Internazionale Università di Torino ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni.Incognita Intel dopo le dimissioni del CEOL'improvvisa uscita del ceo, Pat Gelsinger, costretto a dimettersi dopo le pressioni del Cda nella giornata di lunedì 2 dicembre, ha posto Intel in una posizione decisamente in bilico, negli ultimi giorni. La società ha comunicato di aver nominato il cfo David Zinsner e la vicepresidente esecutiva Michelle Johnston Holthaus come co-ceo ad interim. L azienda, che stava recuperando brio a Wall Street dopo l elezione di Donald Trump, è ora alle prese con incognite future: un tempo leader nel settore dei semiconduttori, ha faticato a tenere il passo con rivali come Nvidia e Advanced Micro Devices, in particolare nell'intelligenza artificiale. Un mix di rischi e opportunità che hanno dato campo libero alla speculazione sul titolo, che a inizio settimana, nel giro di 24 ore, ha prima guadagnato il 5%, e poi perso il 10%.Sarà importante capire se il nuovo ceo di Intel (ancora sconosciut0) sarà pronto a smantellare un azienda che un tempo dominava il settore dei chip, specie perchè questa mossa complicherebbe la capacità di Intel di ottenere 7,9 miliardi di dollari di sovvenzioni federali nell ambito dello US Chips and Science Act. La componentistica è oggi diventata terreno di battaglia decisivo tanto per lo sviluppo delle nuove tecnologie, quanto per la rivalità tra le grandi potenze, lo dimostrano due svolte avvenute nel settore nella stessa giornata di lunedì. Oltre alle dimissioni di Gelsinger infatti, lunedì è arrivata anche l'annuncio da parte degli Usa di nuovi bandi alle esportazioni verso la Cina. Washington ha aggiunto 140 aziende della Repubblica popolare alla lista di quelle che non possono ricevere le attrezzature per produrre i chip. Le misure, secondo l'amministrazione USA, sono adottate per diminuire le capacità di Pechino di alimentare le proprie ambizioni militari più che per ostacolare lo sviluppo economico della Cina.L'intervento di Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore Newsmondo.it a Focus Economia. Sardegna, per le rinnovabili idoneo l'1% del territorioLa Sardegna ha la sua mappa con le aree idonee per l installazione di impianti per la produzione di energia da fonti rinnovabili: comprenderà circa l 1% del territorio. Ieri il Consiglio regionale ha approvato il Dl 45 (Disposizioni per l individuazione di aree e superfici idonee e non idonee all installazione di impianti a fonti rinnovabili) con 35 voti a favore e 14 contrari. È un atto che chiude un percorso iniziato qualche tempo fa con una serie di ricorsi per la richiesta di connessioni a Terna (circa 700) e poi con le mobilitazioni generali.«Siamo la prima regione d Italia ad approvare una legge sulle aree idonee con circa 3 mesi di anticipo rispetto alla nuova scadenza prevista dal Governo», ha commentato subito dopo la votazione la presidente della Regione Alessandra Todde: «La Sardegna, da tempo considerata un fanalino di coda, oggi diventa un modello di tutela e pianificazione del territorio per le altre regioni italiane. Quando siamo arrivati al governo della Sardegna, abbiamo trovato un territorio spaventato e abbiamo respirato la preoccupazione dei sardi rispetto alle speculazione energetica». Tutti gli impianti, sia quelli nuovi sia quelli in autorizzazione, potranno essere realizzati solo nelle aree idonee. Non inciderà ovviamente su quelli già autorizzati.Il commento di Davide Madeddu, Il Sole 24 Ore

In the final episode of the Work in Progress podcast series The Manufacturing Comeback, we look at how employers are recruiting and training veterans and women to fill jobs in the manufacturing industry. Employers Anticipate a Surge in Hiring in Manufacturing On my recent trip to Minneapolis for The Manufacturing Institute's Workforce Summit 2025, employers told me that there are a lot of new plants being built around the country, bringing jobs back to the states. The work is more high-tech than in decades past, and employers are now competing with other industries that are also demanding skilled talent. By one estimate from MI and Deloitte, manufacturing will need 3.8 million workers over the next eight years. To meet that demand, they are actively recruiting military veterans and women, the latter being an underrepresented group in manufacturing. Heroes MAKE America, Women MAKE America In the podcast, you'll learn about two Manufacturing Institute initiatives – Heroes MAKE America and Women MAKE America. You'll hear how Heroes MAKE America is working with the U.S. Department of Defense to prepare transitioning service members and their spouses for jobs in manufacturing. Once trained, the program is also making connections to employers who are hiring. The Women MAKE America initiative is working to add more women to the industry. Right now, just about 30% of all manufacturing employees are women. You'll hear how they are trying to significantly grow that number. The Manufacturing Comeback The recent uptick in manufacturing construction and hiring is fueled by the infusion of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021, the CHIPS and Science Act enacted in 2022, and private funding. To better understand how the manufacturing comeback is reshaping the workforce, I speak with Gardner Carrick, chief program officer for The Manufacturing Institute, which is helping employers figure out how to build a strong talent pipeline. .

The US government has acted as major contributor to science research since the mid-20th century, both in terms of broad basic research and targeted projects. As industrial policy has gained traction, especially during the Biden Administration, the distinction between industrial and science policy has become increasingly obscure. Hybrid policies like the CHIPS and Science Act have spurred continued debate surrounding role and value of federal funding for science research. Today on Political Economy, I talk to Tony Mills about American science policy past, present, and future.Mills is a senior fellow here at AEI and director of the Center for Technology, Science, and Energy. He is also a senior fellow at the Pepperdine School of Public Policy and a scholar associate of the Society of Catholic Scientists. His new paper, “Recovering Science Policy,” explores the blurred lines between US industrial and science policy in today's political landscape.
This is Episode Two of The Manufacturing Comeback, a three-part Work in Progress podcast series. The series takes you inside the surge in hiring in the manufacturing industry. In this episode, we look at how small manufacturers are recruiting and training workers. Small Companies are Looking for Talent On my recent trip to Minneapolis for The Manufacturing Institute's Workforce Summit 2025, I sat down with leaders from several small companies, including Ketchie Precision Machining Solutions and Acutec Precision Aerospace, to learn how they are meeting their growing demand for talent. They tell me that they need a highly-skilled workforce with technical, problem-solving, and soft skills to operate advance equipment. They also point out that they are struggling to compete with larger companies to attract that talent. In the podcast, you'll learn about paid internships, apprenticeships, and other recruiting and training initiatives. You'll also hear from local colleges and how they are helping meet the hiring surge. The Manufacturing Comeback The recent uptick in manufacturing construction and hiring is fueled by the infusion of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021, the CHIPS and Science Act enacted in 2022, and private funding.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, we begin a three-part series examining the manufacturing comeback in the United States, the resulting surge in job creation, and the types of skills workers need to get those jobs. In the series, we explore how the nation's employers are finding, training, and retraining the talent to fill as many as 3.8 million jobs over the next eight years. Manufacturers say they are already having trouble filling those jobs. Episode One of The Manufacturing Comeback focuses on how large employers are addressing the shortage of skilled talent. Building a Talent Pipeline I recently traveled to Minneapolis to attend The Manufacturing Institute's Workforce Summit 2025. There I spoke with Mark Rayfield, CEO of Saint-Gobain North America and CertainTeed, and with Paul Myles, senior manager of Government Workforce Development and Training Programs at Magna International. In the podcast, Rayfield and Myles discuss how while the demand for manufacturing jobs in America is surging, finding skilled talent to fill these roles is a growing challenge. Unlike manufacturing jobs of the past, these jobs are often tech-focused. That means manufacturing employers are competing with other industries that are also looking for a tech-skilled workforce. We discuss innovative recruitment methods, effective partnerships with educational institutions, and creating career pathways for people from all backgrounds. Behind the Manufacturing Resurgence The recent surge of manufacturing construction and hiring is being fueled by the infusion of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021, the CHIPS and Science Act enacted in 2022, and private funding. To better understand how the manufacturing comeback is reshaping the workforce, I speak with Gardner Carrick, chief program officer for The Manufacturing Institute, which is helping employers figure out how to build a strong talent pipeline. Also joining this part of the conversation is Yustina Saleh, managing director of Workforce Innovation for The Burning Glass Institute. Importantly, we look at the ebbs and flows of manufacturing hiring and how jobs have changed over the past several decades. We also examine why it has become more difficult to find workers interested in manufacturing careers, despite the fact that they are often good-paying jobs.

Dr. Laurie E. Locascio, U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), reflects on the implementation of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act which appropriated over $52 billion for semiconductor manufacturing, research and development, and workforce training and education. In conversation with Karen Horting, executive director and CEO of the Society of Women Engineers, Dr. Locascio discusses how this legislation is shaping the future of the U.S. semiconductor industry and why organizations like SWE are essential to its success. Dr. Locascio shares insights on workforce development and efforts to increase the representation of women and underrepresented groups in STEM, including apprenticeships, upskilling, retraining, and returnships.
In Episode 388 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with semiconductor expert Chris Miller about the state and future of the semiconductor industry in the context of Trump's 2024 U.S. electoral victory, with all its implications for industrial policy, defense spending, tariffs, export controls, trade wars, and much more. This conversation is a deep-dive into the semiconductor supply chain. Kofinas and Miller discuss how money is currently being allocated under the CHIPS and Science Act, the progress being made in domestic U.S. semiconductor fabrication, the challenges facing TSMC's Arizona facility, and the troubles at Intel. They also take a hard look at the outcomes resulting from the U.S. semiconductor export and end-use controls implemented against China, how effective or ineffective they've been, and ways to improve them. They also assess China's own efforts at building out its domestic chip ecosystem and some of the loopholes that Chinese companies are systematically exploiting in order to become fully independent of and eventually overtake Western chipmakers and equipment manufacturers. They discuss the three largest limiting factors to scaling AI data centers, the national security threat posed by Chinese companies leapfrogging their U.S. competitors in the race toward AGI, and much more.

The Hoover Institution Program on the US, China, and the World held Critical Issues in the US-China Science and Technology Relationship on Thursday, November 7th, 2024 from 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm PT at the Annenberg Conference Room, George P. Shultz Building. Both the United States and the People's Republic of China see sustaining leadership in science and technology (S+T) as foundational to national and economic security. Policymakers on both sides of the Pacific have taken action to promote indigenous innovation, and to protect S+T ecosystems from misappropriation of research and malign technology transfer. In the US, some of these steps, including the China Initiative, have led to pain, mistrust, and a climate of fear, particularly for students and scholars of and from China. Newer efforts, including research security programs and policies, seek to learn from these mistakes. A distinguished panel of scientists and China scholars discuss these dynamics and their implications. What are the issues facing US-China science and technology collaboration? What are the current challenges confronting Chinese American scientists? How should we foster scientific ecosystems that are inclusive, resilient to security challenges, and aligned with democratic values? Featuring Zhenan Bao is the K.K.

De verkiezingsuitslag in de VS is nog geen 24 uur bekend, of Joe Biden is al bezig de losse eindjes aan elkaar te knopen. Met als prioriteit: uitgeven wat er nog uit te geven valt. Daarbij moet ook de 106 miljard dollar van de Chips & Science Act definitief verdeeld worden. TSMC en GlobalFoundries, twee chipmakers, zijn de eersten waar de kogel door kerk is. De twee bedrijven hadden al respectievelijk 11 miljard, en 3 miljard dollar toegezegd gekregen in subsidies en leningen. Maar er moesten nog wat randvoorwaarden besproken worden, en die gesprek zijn nu klaar. Wat precies de uitkomst van die gesprekken is, dat blijft nog in het midden. De formele aankondiging zal wel zo snel mogelijk eraan komen, zodra Biden zijn krabbel onder de contracten heeft gezet.

Where is Washington's China policy headed with a new president soon to take office? We compare former President Donald Trump's and Vice President Kamala Harris's key China policies. The CHIPS and Science Act is a major bill designed to counter China, but has some controversies. Would Republicans repeal it if Trump wins the election? Harris also weighs in. China continues to send dozens of military aircraft near Taiwan each day. The jets did not carry nuclear weapons, but they're capable of it. Both presidential campaigns were hacked by China right before the election. U.S. government agencies have launched a full-scale investigation. Major U.S. telecom systems, including Verizon and AT&T, were among the targets. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
#ThrowbackThursday This week on Finding PROOF, we're revisiting our earlier conversation with NVCA and Bobby Franklin. While this conversation originally aired just over a year ago, with the election approaching, it's a timely reminder of the vital role lobbyists play—and how fortunate the venture capital ecosystem is to have such a strong, passionate advocate for the innovation economy in Washington. NVCA has played an invaluable role in VC wins, such as securing block grant funding for entrepreneurial ecosystems through the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), supporting tech-driven initiatives in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and advancing the CHIPS and Science Act, which originated as the Endless Frontier Act—a generational investment in technology and entrepreneurship across the country.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Carolyn Lee, president and executive director of The Manufacturing Institute, to talk about what's behind the comeback in manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and what employers need to do to fill another 3.8 million jobs over the next eight years. "We are at a all-time high since the Great Recession with manufacturing jobs filled here in the sector," says Lee. "We're just hovering at 13 million and that means we have recovered from all the jobs that were originally lost during the Great Recession and now we have gone back up all the way to the top of the mountain." What's behind the resurgence in hiring? Lee cites a number of reasons: consumer demand and spending has been strong since COVID, a favorable tax environment, and the drive to invest federal money through the CHIPS and Science Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. "From the CHIPS Act, there have been huge announcements of investment from Intel in Ohio. You have large investments being made in Texas and then a number of very large investments in Arizona. as well, and that's just specific to CHIPS. If you look at EV manufacturing, there's huge investments in Kansas and in Alabama and in Georgia and the Southeast," she tells me. Lee adds, "Not only has it been the CHIPS and the Infrastructure Bill that have driven a lot of government funding, there is a huge grants program out of the Department of Commerce, the Good Jobs Act, which came from a previous set of legislation that helped invest in job training. That's something The Manufacturing Institute team has been working on in a number of regions including Fresno, California, Ohio, and Texas." She says employers continue to hire, but there are still almost 600,000 open jobs in the industry every month. Lee cites a report from The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte Consulting which forecasts that over the next eight years, the manufacturing industry will need as many as 3.8 million additional workers, many with these digital skills. The report lays out a strategy to help employers fill those jobs, particularly through investing in worker training. Lee and I discuss what this means for the worker and job seeker and why they should consider being one of those millions of in-demand workers needed in manufacturing.

The program is designed to expand the trusted manufacturing of leading-edge semiconductors for the U.S. government.
In February 2023, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was deciding whether or not to sign off on a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for $39 billion in direct semiconductor manufacturing incentives. But this NOFO had several unconventional provisions: a pre-application (pre-app) to the actual application, upside sharing provisions to align incentives, and funding milestones so that only awardees making progress would receive additional funds. The funding had been made available through the U.S. Department of Commerce by the CHIPS (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors) and Science Act passed a few months earlier. Raimondo's team had proposed additional measures that would help the U.S. regain technological leadership while protecting taxpayer funds. Should Raimondo move forward with the “innovative” NOFO, despite the risks?
Discover how the recent turmoil in the dollar-yen carry trade has shaken the financial world in an insightful conversation with Andreas Steno Larsen, the esteemed creator of Steno Signals. Andreas brings his wealth of foreign exchange and investment banking experience to the table, shedding light on the significant leverage macro hedge funds placed on the US dollar against the Japanese yen. As Japan hints at shifting away from its QE program, Andreas helps us unpack the repercussions involving US non-farm payroll data, interest rate spreads, and intricate currency hedging practices by pension funds. Listen in as he provides a forecast for this trade, suggesting ongoing market adjustments.Next, we turn our attention to the intricate web of global dollar markets with a focus on the limited role of Chinese banks in carry trades. Despite restricted access to dollar funding, we explore how the People's Bank of China impacts these markets through its US Treasury holdings and gold reserves. Andreas also delves into liquidity trends, forecasting significant movements towards the year's end and examining their potential effects on the job market and asset classes like gold and NASDAQ. We discuss strategic implications of the US Treasury's actions and how seasonal patterns influence market behavior.Our episode also explores the shifting landscape of the US construction sector and the economic health challenges in China. With legislative shifts from the Inflation Reduction Act and the Chips and Science Act, we address the risks to construction jobs and the broader implications for the US business cycle. Andreas expects unemployment rates to rise above 5%, while also dissecting China's significant drop in domestic demand and its global impact on commodities. To wrap up, we reflect on the concept of Japanification within the US economy, comparing debt-to-GDP ratios and pondering long-term economic trajectories.
