How can this be?
ManpowerGroup, a world leader in the workforce solutions, reports that 49 percent of U.S. employers are experiencing difficulty filling mission critical
positions within their organizations. According to the more than 1,300 U.S. employers surveyed, the positions that are most difficult to fill include skilled trades, engineers and information technology staff.
My question: Does the USA lack skilled workers or do we lack folks who want to learn new skills? What do you think?
The latter I think. I teach technical courses. I’m amazed at the lack of curiosity and imagination many students (20 to 40 years old) exhibit today.
