Last week, Trump convinced the air-conditioner manufacturer Carrier to keep its Indiana plant open. The company announced it would keep about 1,000 jobs across two Indiana locations instead of moving them to Mexico.It’s not uncommon for local government officials to try to convince companies to not move their jobs across borders. It is rather uncommon for a president-elect (let alone a president) to spend his time haggling over 1,000 jobs. After all, the US economy creates about 180,000 jobs a month these days.
