Pennsylvania factory layoff foreshadows Trump 2020 troubles

Management decisions that might have slid by in more flush times can now push a business over the edge.

A manufacturing recession may already be under way in vulnerable swing states, challenging President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to deliver blue-collar jobs to his base.

Out of the 22 states with manufacturing job losses so far this year, some of those with the biggest percentage declines are states where Trump won by less than 5 percentage points, according to an NBC News analysis of the latest employment data, released last week. In Pennsylvania, the manufacturing sector lost 8,100 jobs. In North Carolina, it was 7,700, and Wisconsin lost 6,500 jobs.
==============================================
Trump won PA by a slim margin in 2016. With the manufacturing base hurting & Biden being from Scranton, PA looks like a tough call for Trump. I live in PA & my wife & I will not be voting for him.
