I get a kick out of when I hear the politicians all say the same thing and that is, "We need better educated workers - Our schools have to be better - We need job retraining."
A lot of these jobs went to Mexico - Are they better welders than we are?
Do they have better training then we do?
Is it the high school math teacher's fault the jobs went to Mexico?
The inverse is what is needed!
Workers that will work for minimum wages, not computer literate with MBAs that will never accept minimum wages.
Shucks we have to import Mexicans to pick crops.
Tomorrow we will need imported mechanics, cooks, drivers and on and on.
It soon will be such that no American will do any work that gets his hands dirty.
Guess we will simply need to trade in our cars as soon as the tires wear out or we need an oil change or exhaust replacement.
Got a few friends that have auto specialty shops, scary in that they simply cannot hire staff to do any of the messy jobs (engine overhaul, differential repairs, muffler work etc).
They all want computer diagnostics and rubber gloves!
Like in machine shops; if the lathe is not CadCam, nobody wants to work on it.
The aviation industry has to import Europeen machinists as they still know how to set up a lathes or milling machine.
We need workers that will be proud to have dirty hands!
Construction industry is on the right trac!
--Saw a bumper sticker that stated: Construction Workers make Better Lovers!
