Do we have people to do manufacturing jobs if they were brought back?

[Old Rocks]

Seems that we have had 500,000 jobs a month going begging for years now. Instead of closing schools and denigrating knowledge, perhaps it would be better to educate our workforce for these jobs.
"President Donald Trump wants to bring back manufacturing, but even if his tariffs manage to stimulate growth in this sector, the industry faces a skills gap, an aging workforce, and negative perceptions — not to mention the potentially mounting cost of hiring domestic labor in comparison to countries like China.

Experts and researchers in trade told Business Insider that the manufacturing sector is struggling to fill the existing open positions.

"Manufacturers have faced a structural challenge for multiple years now," said Carolyn Lee, president and executive director of the Manufacturing Institute. "The heart of that is most people don't know what modern manufacturing is all about, that we still are challenged by a perception of what the industry used to be."

"Our workforce, a lot of them are also retiring, and they are older," Lee added. "Manufacturers have averaged about 500,000 open jobs every month for several years now."

Pay reasonably and educate people on how to finance for their future.

 

[Oddball]

Yes...All those fools who got useless women's studies and art history degrees can get better jobs than being a barista, begging for tips for their grossly overpriced coffee.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Back in the day when manufacturing jobs were going away and the resulting unemployment from that made employees go thru training to find other jobs........could happen again, if they are willing to learn and work

That’s the spirit. No one in our country can or wants to have jobs.

Maybe we can all just be slave masters and import brown slaves to do all our work for us.

Has that always been the vision of the Democrat Party?

Even though you have so many bad feelings and resentments, you all need to be patient. Trump has broken from the mold with his experiment and needs to be granted time to make the working class prosper.

Being convinced that you're doing better is much more important than doing better. You've just expressed opposite feelings.

Americans need to be forced to learn and work. Denying them any and all social assistance is the only way unless Americans are willing to accept China's methods and success. Can attitudes by changed in midstream?

You know fuckall about me so save your pusillanimous condescension.

There will be plenty of people to do the jobs that get brought back.

I remarked on your bad feelings you were expressing.

Government's use of force by denying the unemployed social assistance, has been proven to be a partial remedy.

But America needs to compete with China and so needs more and better solutions than just that.

Trump has set his course on a new and different remedy than the unfulfilled promises of the D and R parties.

Do you know what Trump's course for success is?

IDK that forcing anyone to do anything would bring the desired results.......especially if they don't know any different than what they 'knew' previously

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, industrial America of WII and after is not coming back.

 

[Mr Natural]

Put the manufacturing facilities in Appalachia and get those people out of the coal mines.

Got tens of millions young Blacks trapped in Blue cities like wild dogs doing nothing. Tap that labor first. Then low level prioners in exchange for reduced sentence. Think outside the box ball-less old bag o’ dikk

No, forcing people to work isn't a solution.

But neither is socially responsible government ever going to be acceptable to the people who vote.

Unless Trump can trick them into believing that he's not offering social reform?

It was for the USSR.

Keep your religion out of my government.

Annexing Canada?

Annexing Canada?

No one does, eh.

I think our labor pool is not what it was when we responded for WW2. We couldn't put down our cell phone long enough today to really do anything except bitch, so let's hope that first 60 minutes gets it done. The kids need a push.

The number of tanks, planes, and other military equipment produced during
World War II is estimated to be:

1. Tanks, self-propelled artillery, vehicles: 6 million
2. Artillery, mortars, anti-tank guns: 8 million
3. Aircraft: 850,000
4. Missiles: 45,000
5. Ships: 55,500
   The US built 86,000 tanks during the war. In May 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt called for the production of 120,000 tanks in two years.
