So we need to bring back US jobs, now.
I’m serious.
Bring back US jobs.
“...we need to bring back US jobs...”
Who is “we”? You could start a company tomorrow and create some jobs but will you? Do you have any idea what it takes to create a job in this country? If you did you would not be quite so glib.
And I’m serious. The jobs are not coming back.
There are jobs, maybe not in your neighborhood or city, but in our newspaper today small companies are trying to find licensed electricians, plumbers and welders. Yes someone may have to go to school for two years to be trained but it is doable and these are the kinds of skills that will always be needed.
Head for the oil patch if you want to make some money. Yes it may be hard work but it’s a job and it pays well.
If we get some manufacturing jobs back the repetitive tasks will be done by robots. Obama promised Hope and Change. Not sure what the hope thing was all about but I do know that life has certainly changed.
Time to figure out how to make lemonade out of the bunch of lemons that has been foisted on us.
I am convinced that nothing will bring back manufacturing like WWIII would. I hope we can recover our industrial base in an emergency fast enough to stave off disaster. Nobody thinks of that.
