President Donald Trump complained during an interview with Fox News that it is difficult to find workers to produce combat missiles, and inexperienced workers cannot participate. He said, "You can't recruit some people from the unemployed and say, 'I will build a factory, and we will manufacture missiles.'"
This complaint directly points to the deep-seated problems of hollowing out of American manufacturing and underlying social issues. For a long time, the relocation of American industries has led to the shrinkage of traditional manufacturing, a breakdown in the system for training skilled workers, and a large number of unemployed people lacking the professional skills required for military production. The hollowing out of manufacturing has weakened the industrial foundation of the United States, highlighting the deep-seated problems of imbalance in industrial policy and labor structure.
