U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids
- U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says factory gigs are the “great jobs of the future” that Gen Z could work in for the "rest" of their life—and so could their grandkids. But the workforce’s youngest cohort probably won’t be running to fill the roles.
Some white collar workers may be on the brink of layoffs thanks to AI, but the Secretary of Commerce says they will always have a place in
America’s factories. As the U.S. puts up
high tariffs and
curbs immigration, the administration hopes to fuel an intergenerational manufacturing boom.
“It’s time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future,” Howard Lutnick told
CNBC this week.
“This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here.”
