Summary

Concern about what artificial intelligence may mean for jobs has the Trump administration pushing to upskill the workforce, as more and more young people look into the skilled trades. Mike Rowe—the CEO of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation and the former star of “Dirty Jobs”—has been pushing people to get into the trades for decades. Rowe recently joined the FOX News Rundown and told Jessica Rosenthal about the growing popularity of vocationally focused education and how the value of knowing a trade seems to be growing exponentially. He also discussed his concerns about AI, the uncertainty it holds for the future, and how he’s happy to see America’s attitude toward plumbers, welders, and other trade careers drastically changing. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Mike Rowe and let you hear more of his thoughts on what the future workforce may look like.
