Those people continue to live in the recently destroyed continuum. In the Globalist world where all other countries can freely subsidize and use import tariffs against US-based companies without consequence. Result; the need to drive down US labor to compete was imperative because our gov’t lacked the will to confront them on these issues.
In the Trump re-organized fair and equitable trade world this is not the case.
In the Trump economy wages for Americans rise while profits also rise. There are a number of factors involved in this. Among them is the USA’s superior work ethic which is reflected in productivity per hour of labor. We lead the world in this. That said, as our hot economy continues to expand the need for skilled labor is becoming critical. We long ago abandoned skilled trades education and emphasized College/Univerity degrees for everyone and the gov’t was the biggest proponent for this.
Thus, the rapid expansion of McUniversities and new departments in established institutions for degrees in non-productive studies where people would attain degrees in areas of study most businesses could not use.
So, the gov’t federal/state/local would create departments to employ those useless degree holders subsidized by the taxpayers.
This has resulted in a growing shortage of skilled labor in a hot and expanding US economy. So. because of our decades of stupidity and the Trump engineered hot and expanding economy we have growing shortages in the supply of people with useful skills that we will struggle to fill in the short term.
Some companies are responding by bringing in young people in to long-abandoned Apprenticeship programs. Others are screaming bloody murder for increased foreigners that never abandoned skilled trades and sciences education.
The latter are who the WSJ and dems and RINO’s are championing.
Most foreigners are diploma-mill con men. And there are 3.5 million under- or unemployed American STEM graduates.
Great comment!
