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

[JimH52]

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."

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

Maybe out of the meth labs too.

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?

Everyone has jobs. Unemployment is virtually nothing. 4% which is basically the vacancy rate for switching jobs plus we have 5M openings.

Does not matter, Bob. Trump is boss now and the job market is bleak, and with deportation the number of possible applicants grows smaller.

Who is going to do the manufacturing jobs.
