Plus: Homeownership is a tough bargain if you travel for work and data shows the manufacturing sector has contracted since Trump took office.

1:02.3	American public media, this is Marketplace. In New York, I'm Kristen Schwab in for Kai Risdahl. It's Friday, July 4th. Good to have you here for this Independence Day holiday.
