Welcome to Factory of the Future, E68, The Lost Decade: How China's Rise & the Opioid Crisis Decimated U.S. Manufacturing in the 2000s

Join us as we discuss:

- How the "China Shock" drove a 1,156% surge in Chinese imports between 1991 and 2007, devastating industries like textiles, furniture, and home electronics

- Why the 2000s became manufacturing's "lost decade," with a 33% decline in jobs that hit Rust Belt states like Ohio and Kentucky the hardest

- The role the opioid epidemic played in compounding manufacturing job losses in already struggling communities

- How certain sectors, like food manufacturing, remained relatively recession-proof compared to the rest of the industry

And so much more.
