Labor in Crisis - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #119

In this episode of The St. Louis Podcast, Eric Brown returns after a short break and hits the ground running with a high-stakes breakdown of the chaos unfolding across America—from redistricting wars to job market meltdowns and AI-driven disruption.

Eric kicks things off with the explosive story out of Texas, where redistricting battles have Democrats fleeing the state and Republicans pushing maps that could reshape the political landscape for decades. What even is gerrymandering? Eric dives into the history of how your vote gets sliced and diced—legally or otherwise—and why the courts can’t seem to stop it.
We also explore the silent job crisis hiding behind “low unemployment” numbers—and why 30% more people are showing up to job fairs across the Midwest.

Finally, Eric offers a hard truth: AI isn’t just coming for your job—it may already be in your seat. He shares which tools he's using, how they're reshaping work, and what you need to learn now to stay ahead.
