“There are 3 million jobs available in America that are not filled because too many of our people don’t have the skills for those jobs.”
— Marco Rubio on Thursday, March 14th, 2013 in a speech at the conservative CPAC conference
SEE HERE:
If they really needed somebody, they’d pay high, get the best guy they could get, and work with him to improve his skills.
But in fact, most places are diddling around, counting the savings every month that they’re getting from all the unfilled positions.
Interesting link. Rubio is turning out to be quite a huckster.
Correct as far as it goes. In engineering these days, the rule rather than the exception is because they want to hire one guy instead of three. If you're that hiring manager's version of a 22-year-old girl's future husband, the job pays $100K+; if not, look elsewhere because there's nothing at $60K even offered.
““There are 3 million jobs available in America that are not filled because too many of our people don’t have the skills for those jobs.””
I question the skills of the people already working who are dead-set against hiring anyone who might make them look bad.
