My nephew is one of those setting the record lows in Oregon. He is a machinist, and was hired about six weeks ago by a company that fabricates machinery for factories from Oregon to Michigan.
One of their major clients is a company that makes titanium golf clubs. They make foundry equipment for them, including the stainless steel ...buckets?... the titanium alloy is melted in.
The company has so much business that they are desperate for machinists and welders, and will hire just about anyone with the right background, and train up anybody who can or will learn.
