Jobs go unfilled in The U.S. because employers can’t find skilled workers

Take a hint rubes : education

face it the coal and steel isn't coming back nor are the underwear factories aren't coming back to jesusuland


many of those positions remain unfilled because employers can't find qualified candidates to do the work. From manufacturing to health care, employers report that they can no longer rely on hiring entry level workers and training them on the job.

“In the '60s and '70s you could go from an entry level job on the loading dock to manufacturing engineer or accountant to maybe a manager in a corner office,” said Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. “It doesn’t work that way anymore. The qualifications have gone up. The commitment between employer and employee has gone down. And (employers) don’t want to take five years to get you ready. They want you ready to start working — and learning — the day you walk in the door. “


Funding scarce for training new hires

maybe colleges should focus more on education, and less on Liberal Arts?

Liberal Arts is education. Slowly but surely, area businesses are partnering with colleges to train prospective employees in the skills they need. But it's not so much college as technical training, and, unfortunately, a lot of remedial education that should have been done in high school.

Liberal Arts is education

Mostly useless.

Business, architecture, finance, etc far more important.

and remember, for every building, car, airplane etc designed, it takes a hundred to put it together

Art, history, philosophy, literature and music aren't "useless." They just don't produce income unless you teach them. And that's a second degree. Not everyone puts their entire definition of worth on what generates money. I'm not saying money isn't necessary to survive. It's just not number one on everyone's agenda. And personally, I think this world would suck a lot worse than it does now without those subjects.

the rubes cannot understand the difference between skills training and education

Yeah, we need to go easy on 'em. Actually, some of them are probably very smart in their fields. Just dumb as shit about politics.

Our educational system is a genuine disaster and crisis and needs to be reformed

The problem is lack of affordable university education. Many people do not go because they don't want to go into debt.

Other 1st world countries have lots of qualified workers because they make it accessible to all citizens.

No, the problem is kids "graduate" high school without the ability to read, write or think and act

In 3rd world countries where there education system worse than ours, the children still go on to college because it is affordable and there is incentive.

Going into debt repels a lot of people.

No leaves high school not knowing how to read and write. Get real.

The Democrat educational apparatus has perfected the mechanics of graduating functional illiterates with no meaningful or productive future all in an effort to fill the Democrat Party Voting Bloc Trifecta of: the non-living, the Illegal and the Government dependent.

Yes...education is key....but when the government schools are run by the education wing of the democrat party and their dues paying members, the chances of improving the education system to help kids is very small...but that will change with Trump's new Secretary of Education...she wants to put kid's first, and empower their parents....not ensure the teachers unions have lots of dues paying members...

But....but....there are functions more important that read' and writin'....


"The California Federation of Teachers (CFT) passed a resolution at its most recent convention claiming that “the continued unjust incarceration of Mumia Abu-Jamal represents a threat to the civil rights of all people.” Thirty years ago, Abu-Jamal took away Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner’s foremost civil right: his life. How obtuse of the CFT to disregard “the threat to the civil rights of all people” represented by someone capable of gunning down a man tasked with protecting the public.

The pantheon of leftist saints includes the Haymarket Square bombers, responsible for the deaths of eight Chicago cops, Joe Hill, murderer of former police officer John Morrison in Salt Lake City, Huey Newton, murderer of Oakland policeman John Frey, and Leonard Peltier, murderer of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Notice a pattern?"
