Those stories are usually complete BS. I remember maybe two years ago the claims of those companies boo-hoo-ing on Good Morning America or maybe even Rush Linbaugh was fact-checked here at FR and found to be a lie from one end to the other.
I work for an energy company.
High paying job openings all the time, but my company cannot find Americans to fill them due to lack of skills.
We hire 2/3 of the professionals from other countries.

That doesn’t surprise me in the least really. I know that with the Marcelous Shale in my state they were going through the various Career Centers to find people and with offers for training, but had difficulty finding people who could even be instructed. They lacked even the basic understandings one would acquire from high school....or had drug or alcohol issues.
But some have done well...one fellow started at just $12 an hour driving a water truck....no experience....within one year he was making $25 an hour with plans to go further up in the ranks....he’s doing it too the last I heard....and that was four years ago.
