In October, the United States manufacturing sector faced a significant setback as strikes within the auto industry disrupted production lines across the country.

These strikes, primarily led by labor unions demanding better wages and working conditions, had a domino effect on the overall manufacturing output.

The strikes, involving thousands of auto workers, brought production to a standstill in several key automobile manufacturing plants.

This disruption rippled through the supply chain, impacting various industries reliant on auto parts and components.

As a result, many manufacturers had to slow down or temporarily halt their operations, causing a decline in overall manufacturing output for the month.

Amidst this turmoil, the question arises: How will the auto industry and the broader manufacturing sector recover from this setback?

The strikes have shed light on the challenges faced by workers and their demands for fair treatment, but they also underscore the vulnerability of manufacturing supply chains in an interconnected global economy.

In summary, auto strikes in October crippled US manufacturing, highlighting both the need for labor reform within the industry and the vulnerabilities of supply chain disruptions.

The aftermath of these strikes will likely impact the manufacturing landscape for months to come.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
