Default Why Manufacturers Can’t Find The Workforce They Need


"jon_banquer" wrote in message
...
"This skills gap has been widening for decades, but trends are
converging to make the crunch especially severe. Technology on the
shop floor is evolving quickly. This means that factory jobs demand
more math and science skills than most Americans possess. Meanwhile,
young people have turned their backs on the factory; manufacturing
ranks dead last among career choices for 18- to 24-year-olds, one
survey shows."

Why go to work at a job when you can get a government loan, and get a
polysci major, and go to work for the regime?

It's the norm now. Trouble is, there aren't enough jobs, and the graduate
with diploma in hand has too much pride to do "regular" work.
