The jobs boom in manufacturing

[Chris]

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- President Obama last week promised a boom in manufacturing and 1 million new jobs if he is reelected.

But is the boom for real? For high-paying, skilled manufacturing jobs, it just might be.

The number of job openings for skilled factory workers has increased 38% since 2005, according to numbers from the Conference Board that measure labor demand across industries.

More strikingly, the sharpest increase in postings for skilled workers -- 152% -- has occurred in the last three or so years.

Among the states where demand is the highest for skilled workers are Ohio, Michigan, Texas, California, Illinois and Indiana, according to the Conference Board.

Odd how there's no mention of oil and gas industry jobs. I guess Obama doesn't consider that "manufacturing".

That oil industry is a "dinosaur", forgive the pun.

America is beginning the transition away from oil, it may take a while, but we will get there. Expect the jobs to reflect that as time goes on.

I have no doubt there will be a manufacturing boom if Obama is relected... Unfortunately, it will be in China.

3. 1MM new jobs, (that's a three letter word according to Joe Biden)

That's nice. Lots of job opening for 'skilled' workers, with no 'skilled' workers to fill them... and you translate that into a plus for Obama?

You are truly insane.

The US manufacturing sector contracted for the third straight month in August, the longest slide since the recession ended, in line with recent data showing a pullback in business spending.
The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index declined to 49.6, the lowest level since July 2009. That followed readings of 49.8 in July and 49.7 in June and came in below expectations of 50. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.

This is the real world, rather than the democrat created myth world.

So, now it is Obama's fault that our kids cannot afford to go to college to get those "skills"?

Yes.

The new law will eliminate fees paid to private banks to act as intermediaries in providing loans to college students and use much of the nearly $68 billion in savings over 11 years to expand Pell grants and make it easier for students to repay outstanding loans after graduating. The law also invests $2 billion in community colleges over the next four years to provide education and career training programs to workers eligible for trade adjustment aid after dislocation in their industries

This article was from 2.5 years ago so tell us VaYank;

How come our kids STILL cannot afford to go to college to get those "skills"?

You don't expect the left to go after the real problem with post secondary education costs, their buddies who run the schools, do you?

Did I even remotely say that? No.

I commented on Chris trying to say that this is a plus for Obama... that there are lots of 'skilled' worker positions open.

Do try to pay attention, dumb ass.

Is it Obama's credit whatever lie the OP told? Note the cherry-picking of data points to include time periods before he was president.
And note my sig line. Willing to concede you were wrong yet?

I disagree...

that could not be the "Hot looking blonde" could it - the Great Recession seems to have a multitude of side effects ...

Conservative: That's nice. Lots of job opening for 'skilled' workers, with no 'skilled' workers to fill them... and you translate that into a plus for Obama?

You are truly insane.

the Republican response is to issue more foreign green cards for immigrant (skilled) employment that will fill those jobs "Inside" the US at Asian wage scales.

Hmmm. Seems I remember seeing that the manufacturing sector lost 15,000 jobs last month. Let me look...

Shopfloor

The employment numbers on Friday showed what many manufacturers have told us for some time—the U.S. economy is soft. The number of manufacturing jobs fell by 15,000 workers in August, the first decline since last September. The largest declines occurred in the motor vehicles sector, which has been one of the stronger sectors overall in the economic recovery. The non-farm business sector as a whole hired just 96,000 net new workers, its sixth straight disappointing month. Even the lower unemployment rate—which fell from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent—was not as good as it might seem, as it was the result of having fewer people in the labor force

The skills necessary aren't taught in college. There is a college course for engineering, but none for machinist.

Well this is a campaign promise. He is promising to create a manufacturing boom, why he doesnt just do it now to show people what he can do, i dont know. I suspect its because he is all word and no substance.

Good to see it started in 2005(3 years before Obama was elected), so I'll blame(credit) Bush for that.
