As of June, the unemployment rate in America was 9.2%. Meaning MILLIONS of people are out of work. Yet, in my conversations with die / mold and CNC machine shops over the last few months, every one of them is looking for workers to hire, but they can't find people with the skills - or in many cases people even willing to do the high-tech work.
In America, we have spent at least the last several decades portraying skilled manufacturing as something less than honorable to do as a career. And now we live with this sad paradox: Manufacturers looking for workers, and workers with no skills and a false-perception of manufacturing sitting at home.
Someone needs to ask the "leadership" in government how much money this is costing us as a nation.
