Does Trump only care about work for whites, preferably male?
The YUGE job losses Trump is ignoring: retail workers.
Apparently, job losses in coal mining and manufacturing matter to Trump, but job losses in retail don't.
"Work is gendered and it is racialized. What work matters is often tied to who performs it. It is no accident that those professions dominated by white men tend to bring the most prestige, respect, and pay, while those dominated by women—and especially women of color—are often ignored, disdained, and undercompensated."

Progressives also tend to be obsessed with industrial jobs- primarily, I think because they tend to be high-paying union jobs. So for example in NYC you have areas zoned industrial despite the huge demand for housing.
