What does the future manufacturing economy look like?

On the next Your Call we'll have a conversation about the state of manufacturing in the U.S. During the past decade, 49 of the 50 states have lost manufacturing jobs. Today, manufacturing accounts for 12 percent of the U.S. economy. How did we end up in this situation? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What do we need to do to bring manufacturing back in a rapidly evolving, competitive world? And how will it look? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Kent Hughes, director of the Wilson Center's program on America and the Global Economy.

Christian E. Weller, a senior fellow at American Progress and an associate professor of public policy at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
