A New York Times opinion piece from journalist Bob Davis canvasses the impact of Trump administration economic policies on Hickory, North Carolina. It cites research co-authored by MIT economist David Autor on the so-called “China Shock.” “The town is making a comeback. The jobs are returning, and incomes are rising,” Davis reports. “But the reasons have nothing to do with Mr. Trump and his signature policies.”
