I’m a construction worker/builder between jobs right now, and I haven’t felt like I am capable of making any kind of decision what direction to go in life for the past 2 months. I am curios is anyone has thoughts on switching industries/jobs based on the Trump trade war/annexation. My only idea right now is joining the army, or the ildu or something.

Yeah I work for a company that does a lot of cross border stuff in N America. About 30% of the business is going across the border and that’s gonna get ugly real fast.

Even if we don’t lose 30%, only 10% of that would lead to major reshuffles and a lot of layoffs.

In your opinion, is your company going across due to the tariffs specifically or other regulations? Or just because the market is bigger?

I believe they meant that 30% of their product goes across the border, not that 30% of the company was splitting off and moving country.
