Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail New Week, New Headlines: your fast-track through the now + next of work. This week we’re covering three stories shaping how you work, earn, and lead: 42,000 US manufacturing jobs lost. Since April, durable goods have shed tens of thousands of jobs - what tariffs, automation, and uncertainty really mean for the economy. 72-hour work weeks exploding. Silicon Valley is doubling down on extreme hours while Europe, New Zeland (even NVIDIA) tests the 4-day week. What each bet reveals about strategy and speed vs. resilience. Immigration raids threatening America’s skill base. Crackdowns at Hyundai’s EV plant show how politics collide with workforce realities - and why US innovation depends on global expertise. If you want to stay ahead of the forces reshaping work - from jobs to hours to immigration - this one’s for you.
