Planet Money - Made in America
What people might picture when they think of "Made in America" ... might not look like the "Made in America" we have today.
The U.S. does have a domestic manufacturing industry, including a garment manufacturing industry.
In today's episode: We buy a garment made by factory workers in the U.S. – a basic purple sports bra – and learn how many people it took to make it, how much workers got paid to work on it ... and whether garment manufacturing is a job Americans want, or even know how, to do.
Plus: why domestic garment manufacturing exists at all in the U.S., and whether the industry can grow.
Other episodes:
- What "Made in China" actually means

Marketplace All-in-One - The changing rules of who’s entitled to services in America
The Trump Administration today said it will restrict undocumented immigrants from accessing public programs, including Head Start. Kimberly explains how the move fits into the government’s broader effort to change who’s entitled to services in the United States. And, the Supreme Court gave Trump the green light to continue mass federal layoffs, for now. We’ll get into the emotional rollercoaster many of these workers have been on this year. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "What the Media Gets Wrong About Medicaid ‘Cuts'" from DC Journal
- "Taxpayer-Funded Benefits Are for American Citizens — Not Illegals" from The White House
- "Trump to cut off Head Start for immigrants in US illegally" from AP News
- "State Department fires more than 1,300 employees in downsizing plan" from The Washington Post
- "Federal workers fearful after Supreme Court backs Trump’s mass firings plan" from The Washington Post
- "How Trump’s immigration policies could threaten Social Security" from Marketplace
- "Tariffs push companies to rethink traditional forecasts" from Marketplace
- "In new food fad, protein products are no longer just for gym-goers" from Marketplace
- "Microsoft Pledges $4 Billion Toward A.I. Education" from The New York Times
- "A 70-hour work week? Some job listings are foregoing work-life balance" from Marketplace

Marketplace All-in-One - The GOP slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid’s budget. What now?
The Medicaid budget just lost about $1 trillion. Eleven million more Americans will go uninsured, the CBO estimates, and those who remain Medicaid-eligible may lose coverage for "optional" services. That could include in-home health care recipients, like 9-year-old Noah. In this episode, we talk with his mom, who lobbied Congress to vote against the bill. Plus: An environmentalist makes a case for solar power, and why the Fed will rely on data — not the whims of the stock market or President Trump — to make its next rate cut decision.
