Episode Notes
The coronavirus pandemic has left no part of the world untouched, including global manufacturing supply chains. The complex system that keeps goods moving throughout the world has struggled to catch up ever since it was disrupted in early 2020. Now, 18 months later, product delays aren’t going anywhere.
Guest: Austen Hufford, U.S. manufacturing reporter for The Wall Street Journal.
