On our newest episode, “Globalization: Made in America,” our panelists talk about why it’s so important that local residents be at the table when states make deals to lure corporations to town that promise new jobs.

Americans fear other countries stealing jobs from the US, but what if we told you that states are actually busy stealing jobs from each other? Sure, states trying to lure companies to relocate in their towns might sound like a good thing, but who really benefits? In our new episode, “Globalization: Made in America,” Jon looks at this “race to the bottom” and what it’s costing America’s workers.

In “Globalization: Made in America,” Jon asks North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper why his state has done this and if that money might have been better spent on things that actually benefit the people who already live there.
