What Is Driving the Permanent Collapse of American Jobs? | 12/3/25

Don’t let anyone sugarcoat the GOP underperformance in the Tennessee special election. I offer deep and broad analysis of how last night’s results fit into a clear pattern of the GOP bleeding suburban voters in a way that will result in an electoral slaughter next year. However, there is a silver lining of a red firewall to avoid a complete wipeout, but that will require Trump to change his economic message. One thing he must do is put forward a plan to reverse the hemorrhaging of American jobs. We’re joined today by Amanda Goodall, a labor market expert, who offers an in-depth analysis of why this has been the worst job market for college graduates and how she fears this is a permanent dynamic. Unlike during the Great Recession, there are so many roles being abolished. She explains how the collapse of small businesses and the rise of major corporate monopolies have allowed companies to succeed without critical talent. She believes this is much deeper than simply AI eliminating jobs. We also discuss the continued trend of outsourcing and how Trump’s decision not to cancel the H-1B program is indefensible.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
