CEOs tell Trump that jobs exist, the skills don't

[JakeStarkey]

The manufacturing jobs are not coming back in their hundreds of thousands, despite what the Pres says.

The manufacturing classes will have to retrain is the point, even if they don't want to.

Factory jobs exist, CEOs tell Trump. Skills don't.

Trump, stop talking start listening.

They don't seem to have a problem manufacturing in Mexico, flakey. You saying they're smarter than the idiot left's base here?

Because the younger generation are snowflakes, good for nothing deadbeats hanging out in their safe spaces… the only skills they have are mad Video game skills.

 

[Mac1958]

Okay, fine, but they "feel" good about themselves, know how to avoid "triggers", know precisely how to report "microaggressions" to HR, and can tell you at any given time the location of the nearest "safe space".

So there's that.

That's a pretty sad commentary on our nation's education system. Thanks liberals.

The skills existed when Murican IT guys were forced to train Indian computer geeks, who took their jobs for less pay, lest the lose their severance.

Always the cynic, huh Jake?

 

[Tom Horn]

There's millions of manufacturing jobs coming back that we are more than capable of doing....hell, if the future is robots, we'll build the damn robots!

Well, sure there's been a deterioration of, for instance, trained tool and die makers, as there haven't been jobs for several years, so people were not undergoing the schooling, apprenticeships etc., to learn skilled manufacturing jobs as there was no actual job at the end of that process. Some of the folks that used to perform those functions have aged out of the market and others have moved on, but I think it's a safe bet that if the incentive were there that some would return and others would train.

if this CEO is telling the whole truth, there is an unmet demand, and wages should then rise and drive that market response, except, no, they won't, as long as skilled manufacturing wages here don't rebound.

So, the jobs are there, but they're not paying what they should to support such action from the labor market participants and they are, therefore, not responding, as there is little incentive to undergo training to learn a skill that pays crap and won't even feed your family.

this and other CEOs are propping up their bottom lines, arguing there's nothing that can be done. Bullshit. Change the math, change the outcome.

This is adult education retraining not public education.

Either the working classes retrain or they go on government assistance.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"this and other CEOs are propping up their bottom lines, arguing there's nothing that can be done" is nonsense. The CEOs are saying workers have to have skill sets for the Now and the Future.

America is not going backwards.

 

[JoeMoma]

Ever hear of OJT - On the Job Training? No Skills.... that's kind of a circular argument. Yes, a person can learn some skills at a trade or tech school, but the best way to learn a job skill is by doing the job.

A young man needs to do more to learn to weld than watching a youtube video. He needs to actually practice the skill.

The older generation have the skills and need to brush up, but could be the trainers of the young...

DOW chemical sucks! With that said I would ask who were the other manufacturers? Also the article its self said they lack the basics coming out of school. That would tell me that the schools K-12 are lacking and not doing their jobs or we have a bunch of children being brought into and raised up that are lacking the ability to think. Put that back on companies like DOW chemical and the others who have spread their shit far and wide.

An apprentice position at Amazon, FB, Yahoo, etc..pay 100k a year plus other benefits...Why be a founder for 75k a year?

I never understood why manufacturing and companies threw away the older generation..

Manufacturing is lower pay than things like IT, high end service careers like nursing, and small business service ventures.

The 21st century information and service economy is moving away from manufacturing, the same way that mechanization moved people away from agriculture.

The horse is out of the barn, time to adapt to the economy and quit bawling over it.

We'll be like Mexico soon enough, not to worry. We already have the corruption and militarized police components in place.

A lot of that was do to sellouts. They bought the names of a lot of good companies stripped, pieced and parted them out as they got everyone to co-invest their retirement funds. (fund management companies, banksters) The people fell for it for their own greed and walla the country took a nose dive.
