Topic	American factories are desperate for workers. It's a $1 trillion problem....

Not enough mechanics, or electricians, or welders, or wood workers, not enough CAD people. People just aren't doing those things these days, not like they used to. The pay is decent for an electrician, but who's doing it? People aren't using the pandemic time to learn to weld, or learn to fix CNC machines. They are learning to code, they are learning IT stuff. They are learning advertising and business. That's pretty accurate, although there has been a push for some of this stuff in hs career centers over the past decade. It's not getting the kind of enrollment as nursing and cosmetology though. And for reasons I don't understand at all the entire area is brimming with die cutters/machinists which I guess would be mid level. --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:953553756] in American f...
