Manage episode 443414243 series 2513244
The United States is the biggest importer and second-biggest exporter in the world. So if the dockworker strike lasts, some sectors may have to look for other ways to get their goods overseas — or pay to store them until cargo starts moving. Also in this episode: Prices probably won’t fall with inflation, economists keep an eye on the diffusion index, and Kai Ryssdal visits a remote atoll in the Pacific Ocean that’s important to U.S. security but vulnerable to climate change.
