In the wake of the recent buzz around artificial intelligence, Fox Business’s “How America Works” host Mike Lowe went back to the “same old broken record” he’s been repeating for the past 20 years. It was about learning skills that were in demand.
“It’s hard to put poop back in the goose, especially when it comes to things like this. Sure, I worry, but I think about how this will affect my career, my life, and my ability to provide for my family.” I don’t really know what the panic is going to do for the average person who is in a panic,” he said on a recent episode of “Fox & Friends.”

Lowe cited his organization, mikeroweWORKS Foundation, as evidence of a lucrative career in the trade profession. He said of the roughly 1,700 people his foundation has trained, many of them have achieved six-figure grades and above, and “all are in skilled professions.”

Lowe first came to prominence in the early 2000s with Discovery’s “Dirty Jobs.” In each episode, he tackles a variety of difficult, strange, or disgusting tasks across the country, shedding light on the less-luxury occupations that keep America running. Since then, Lowe has become a vocal advocate for skilled workers.
