“Skilled Labor”
“Can call the shots”

Too bad the definition of skilled labor is so subject to re-interpretation, and prior experience becomes irrelevant after five years.

It would also help if industry were less concentrated into industrial parks at major cities.
Where I am the nearest decent jobs are at least sixty miles (An hour+) away.
So the employers get concerned the employee will not always arrive on time due to weather or traffic.
Their answer to the “Labor shortage” is twelve hour days, which discourages anyone over forty.

Bottom line, we could have an even better economy if companies were not so clustered together away from willing workers.

“We are seeing the power shift from being more employer-driven to employee- driven,” she says. “Meaning, skilled labor can call the shots.”

This is happening and has been for about a year.

With Obama, the phony jobs numbers were reduced every month. the BLS, a pro-liberal agency, lied every month for Obama.

With Trump they suppress the numbers then adjust them up next month.
