Great that those industries are hiring...but with trucking...they scared off so many with the NAFTA mandated, Bush supported, Obama approved Mexican Truckers Program...allowing Mexican trucks to go all over the US (instead of a 75 mi radius from the border).
This has been big talk among truckers for years...and it has scared many into leaving the industry
Dump the Mexican Trcuks rule, and trucking industry will hire again
“Dump the Mexican Trcuks rule, and trucking industry will hire again”
According to what I am reading and seeing the trucking industry is hiring and cannot find enough drivers. I don’t buy that Americans wont drive trucks because they are afraid of Mexicans driving trucks. Hard to argue that Mexicans are taking jobs when you cannot get enough US drivers.
But then its the same thing with ditch digging, drywall, and seasonal crops. The fact is that a very significant portion of our workforce cannot pass a drug test, have erratic attendance, are dishonest, want more money than their lousy skill set and work ethic are worth, or simply cannot drive.
The there is the problem of that sitting on your arse pays pretty good in this country and making $50K is only marginally better than welfare especially after taxes.
Bash the Mexicans if you want but many US workers are no better.
