Iowa Manufacturing Company Shows Why Economy Isn’t Growing



In Pella, IA, Vermeer manufactures agricultural and industrial equipment. The company with 4,000 employees says demand is high – so high that it needs to hire hundreds more workers to meet it. But finding them is a challenge – as is navigating ongoing supply chain roadblocks. Vermeer says it could be contributing more to the GDP which has now fallen two quarters in a row.

  1. These types of stories are creating a recession with constant fear mongering. The feds set a goal to slow the economy to slow inflation, when that succeeded, it's characterized as a recession. Are they trying to scare people back into crappy jobs?

  2. Lol. Biden only “created” knew jobs because the covid lockdown made people lose jobs then get them back

  3. Joe biden is worse president and pervert guy

  4. SEEMS LIKE ALL THOSE ODD LOOKING ONES

  5. We are not in a recession it’s only a depression

  6. Raising the interest rates by feds causing economic slow down was the plan. World wide covid19 recovery is messing things up still.
    Hope they don't over do it like Regan and thatcher did in the 80's. That hurt.

  7. There is NO labor shortage! Let me repeat that for those who didn't get it the first time THERE IS NO LABOR SHORTAGE! There are plenty of people who want to work. The problem is that companies have been bleeding out their workers for decades. The Pandemic came along and people figured out how to get of the tread mill. Now It will take much more to get them back in the yoke! This folks, is the new normal.

  8. Why is the media getting hysterical, on camera, about recession? Are they trying to make a recesssion a foregone conclusion? And if so, why?

  9. 1:50
    THEN DON'T HAVE 3 KIDS IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T AFFORD THEIR CARE, YOU AIN'T A VICTIM❌👎

  10. Wait so this guy cant get rid of wood chippers so that makes the economy shrink? Could it be there or more chippers than trees that need chipped? Am I missing something.

  11. The administration and mainstream media have lost all credibility

  12. Imagine how much better we'd be doing if Trump didn't tell his worshipper morons that the pandemic was a "Democrat hoax".

    They still won't see how much they've been lied to.

  13. We need trump back seriously.

  14. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthh.Online Brünette und eine andereg Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  15. Another lame attempt by the biased liberal media to deflect the blame that demorats have well earned !

  16. But Joe said we are not into a recession??

  17. The dementia in Joes brain is thriving
