Making it in America
Broadcast: Midmorning, 01/13/2012, 9:06 a.m.
American manufacturing is dead, right?
Not exactly.
American manufacturers are still successful, but that success has come at a cost — the number of manufacturing jobs in this country has collapsed as factories replace workers with machines.
Adam Davidson of Planet Money traveled to Greenville, South Carolina to answer the question: what is the state of the low skilled American worker? He wrote about that experience for The Atlantic Monthly.
Davidson will join Kerri along with Larry Sills, chairman and CEO of Standard Motor Products to talk about American jobs and American manufacturing.
