I find this story very difficult to swallow. Funny how they don’t mention what kind of jobs, what skills are necessary, etc.
Exactly! I noticed that the lack of skills/education was mentioned in only one field: construction! Sorry, I haven’t heard of a major in roofing being offered anywhere.
We have pushed “getting ahead” onto our kids so all they think of is getting a degree and working in offices. No one is left to learn how to frame or wire a house. Spanish-language dominated companies which have been told “Americans don’t want to work” are reluctant to hire Americans who don’t speak Spanish....
Yeah, there’s problem there, but I don’t think it’s colleges, and I don’t think West explained where the college problem he describes is causing a lack of potential hires.
