America doesn't have a shortage of jobs. It has a shortage of people willing and prepared to do them. Brian Sozzi sits down with Mike Rowe, founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation and host of "Dirty Jobs", to discuss why millions of skilled trade jobs are going unfilled, how the country's obsession with four-year degrees created today's labor shortage, and why America's biggest economic challenge may not be AI, but finding enough workers to build the future. The conversation explores work ethic, skilled trades, infrastructure, manufacturing, data centers, education, workforce development, and why Mike believes the next generation has been sold the wrong definition of success.
